@Elijah, what's the name of your company? Thanks!

This is something common I guess but I am afraid of doing sex scenes and I feel uncomfortable with showing my body naked. Moreover, I would not know how to tell my parents that I did a film with sex scenes. You know, I will always be there baby and pure and innocent... So how do you overcome this fe...

Moreover, I would not know how to tell my parents that I did a film with sex scenes. You know, I will always be there baby and pure and innocent... So how do you overcome this fear and deal with your parents? How can you just be the character and explain after that it was not "you" but the character? I hope I am clear enough. I guess my dad would have no problem seeing me kill some in cold blood but make love to someone else, in front of an audience...

Expand commentSo...in a professional shoot, you should know from the breakdown that there's nudity and/or a sex scene. If that's not for you, then you shouldn't submit or audition, and your agent should make sure she knows your comfort level. You are required to be told before your first audition if you're union. If you're not, it's still the professional thing, and no director should ever be like "So today, it's your nude scene!" when you show up to the set, without your far prior knowledge. I always put it in the breakdown, actors know before they even submit to be considered, we talk about it in the first interview, there's a nudity rider for their deal memo, etc. There's no question about the specifics, and they know pretty much what's going on before I even meet them the first time.
There are tons of roles that have nudity, there are tons of roles that don't. Do what you're comfortable with, and don't worry about it.
and wow this post is freakin' old... ;)
Exactly! No one is forcing the actors to be nude. If there's nudity it's usually listed in the casting call. If you don't want to do nude, don't audition for the role.
Instead of asking the question " should I do nudity scenes?" Ask you're self this question "what roles am I unsuitable for and what roles would I be suitable for? Now as you list them out you will see...
Expand commentInstead of asking the question " should I do nudity scenes?" Ask you're self this question "what roles am I unsuitable for and what roles would I be suitable for? Now as you list them out you will see that there may be many roles you are not suited for, and of course you will see there are also many that you are not suited for. My list might touch on my fear of heights, snakes, and my inability to pronounce certain words. Now when considering a part I would consider how much into my uncomfortable zone would I have to go, and whether there was any room for negotiation. I guess what I'm saying is that we all have places where we do not want to go. If nudity is yours, and you are not comfortable with it, and you can't negotiate changes, move on, there are plenty of roles to apply for that don't involve taking your clothes off.

Expand postThis quote from John Ford, a great director and one to study, has interested me, and I thought it to be a good subject to share with Stage32ers. What are your feelings directors, producers, writers, actors, cinematographers, and editors on this statement from Ford. I feel that in some ways Ford is insisting that the final product, the film itself, is what should be judged since a script (again, these are my thoughts on the director's approach) is a blueprint for the finished work. Of course, one can see the potential of a film through the screenplay, but the pages still are simply working out the foundation for the film. It would be interesting to hear different viewpoints on this, from an actor's point of view to that of an editor and so on. So what are your thoughts Stage32ers?
Let's see Mr Ford make a good movie without a script at all good bad or otherwise.
"Eighty percent of a picture is writing, the other twenty percent is the execution, such as having the camera on the right spot and being able to afford to have good actors in all parts." - director Billy Wilder.
BOOM! Bill Martell. Dropping bombs!. LOL.
