Worst Headshots

Posted: 9/9/05 at 12:28pm

Having some nice responses from my Best Headshot thread, lets try the opposite. Which headshot do you feel completely fails to show an accurate portrayal of an actor? A headshot that is so poorly constructed and cheap that just seeing it makes you go, "Um...No" Hmm...I think I will go with Joey Mac's headshot when he was in Wicked. He looked like a hurt puppy-dog.

She is a genius and one of my absolute favorite actresses. But Natasha Richardson's headshot in the Playbill of STREETCAR was absurd.

Joel Grey's in Wicked looked like he was 35. He is a bit older than that. Love him though!

I agree with Michael Bennet. Natasha's was pretty silly.

Norbert Leo Butz.
It's a good photo.
But it looks nothing like him.

Will Chase. I love him, but I think he looks younger and better in real life than in his head shot.

I don't really like John Tartaglia's. He's an adorable guy but the picture just isn't the best.

I already started a thread similar to this. After y`all do this thread, why not go back and check mine too?

well, i think he's amazingly gorgeous and the best looking guy on broadway, but cheyenne jackson's headshot doesnt seem like him! It's actually kind of creepy in the eyes. he's so good looking, i think it could be 7548329 times better

Raul Esparza because he looks like he wants to kill somebody in his headshot. The photo doesn't jive with his personality at all. And besides, it's just an old picture and barely looks like him; he's far more attractive and sweet-looking than his headshot makes him look.

I think Eden Espinosa's where she is peeking out of her turtle neck is awful, it's the first one that sprung to mind for me.

I actually really dislike Idina's. First one I thought of.

Idina's (it looks like it was from like 4 or 5 years ago)
and Eden's old one from when she understudied Idina in Wicked.

I don't think Shannon Durig's picture looks much like her. But she's a beautiful girl

Rue McClanahan's in the current Wicked playbills. She's trying to create the illusion that she's still in her 50's by using a picture of her from when she was in The Golden Girls. I always hear people saying how good she looks for her age. Um, no. She looks "good" because that picture was taken in 1985.
