Never Use Your Home Address
When actors submit to agents or casting directors, they often include:
Their headshot
Resume
Contact information
And sometimes…
Their home address.
This is a serious mistake.
When agents receive submissions, they can’t keep everything forever. Eventually, submissions get discarded. And once something goes into the trash, you lose control of where that information ends up.
Anyone who finds it now has:
Your photo
Your name
Your home address
That’s not just unprofessional.
It’s dangerous.
Home Phone Numbers Are Just as Risky
Home phone numbers are easy to search online.
In many cases, someone can simply Google a home phone number and find:
Your full address
A map of where you live
Personal information tied to that number
This kind of information makes it far too easy for strangers to locate you.
Actors must be careful about what personal details they share publicly.
Why This Matters for Actors
Actors regularly send materials to strangers in the industry.
Agents.
Casting directors.
Production companies.
Most people are professional.
But you don’t know who might see your materials after they’ve been discarded or passed around.
Protecting your privacy is part of protecting your career.
The Safer Alternative
Never use your home address when submitting materials.
Instead use:
A P.O. Box
A business mailing address
A safe office address
Even a simple post office box gives you a layer of protection between your professional life and your home.
Think of it as part of your professional setup.
“You will not have an acting career if you’re not alive.”
Quick Recap: Protect Yourself
When submitting to agents or casting:
Never include your home address

Protect your personal information
Your safety must always come first.
