Another vote for C.

Though I'm not crazy about the hands on the face, "a" is by far the best smile, the one that makes me say, "Cast that one!"

I wrote the above post before reading the other comments, not wanting to be influenced by anyone else. I do agree that you might want to start over again, because none of them is quite right. The smile in "a" is by far the best, and without the hands it would be close to perfect, but close to is not enough where headshots are concerned. I like the serious look in one of your fan photos, so I'm linking it here because you might want to go for this kind of look too. The sensitive thoughtful look is a good one too. Your a very good-looking guy, so don't settle for something that doesn't do you justice.

I'm not a huge fan of the hands in that picture, but I'm going to say A, because you're smile is nicest in that one. my other choice would be C.

"A" has the most personality, despite "hands in the shot," which don't bother me that much to begin with.

That said... I don't really know your personality, or what qualities you are trying to sell. Are you a comic? A dramatic actor? A goof? A quiet, serious type? (Don't say, "I'm all of those things." Casting directors peg you into a type, so you might as well choose your own strengths before THEY do.)

"A" could be totally nonrepresentational of who you are.

Bottom line: Don't let any of us pick your head shot. Don't let your photographer pick your head shot. Professional or not, he doesn't know you either. They know how to take good pictures, but they are not psychic. They'll offer plenty of opinions though on "aesthetics" but the bottom line is this is YOU.

Trust your own instincts. Pick the shot that sells YOU the best.
