Every Actor Has A Brand.

Discover what sets you apart!

Who comes to mind when you think of the ultimate GEEK: Chris Hemsworth or Jessie Eisenberg? Who comes to mind when you think of the ultimate FEMME FATALE: Angelina Jolie or Melissa McCarthy? Which actor comes to mind when you think of the sensitive ROMEO type? Probably not Vin Diesel! Could he play Romeo? Of course! However, his choices would be very different from those of Timothée Chalamet because they have different…brands.

Every actor has a brand! Whether you like it or not. Why? Because it is the audience watching that decides what your brand is. A lot of actors hate the word “brand” - and that's fair - because it does not belong to the artist realm…it belongs to the casting table. Yes, we know, you are NOT a fancy shoe, a designer jacket, or a luxury watch.  A brand is not to be feared. The good news is that once you are aware of your brand you can start to use it to inform your acting choices so that you can be the most original actor that a casting director, agent, director, producer, and audience has come across. YOU have a unique brand, unlike any other actor on this planet. Do you know what yours is?


“Many actors are trained to have an inside out approach to their work. What I do, is offer an outside in approach. I call it “the actors archetype” and it’s simply one extra tool to add to a repertoire of acting tools.

Once you know your archetype you can use it in your acting work to give you a unique edge.”

- George Konstand

What makes a brand?

An actor’s brand hinges on one key element: Archetype. When casting directors select actors for auditions, they look for those who align closely with the character archetype in their mind—or, in some cases, those who present an intriguing contrast. Either way, knowing your archetype is crucial. It’s what gets you noticed, whether you perfectly fit the role or stand out as a bold alternative. Think of actors like Jennifer Coolidge, Frances McDormand, or Florence Pugh—they’ve each carved out a lane by owning their unique archetypes. What’s yours? It could be the key to landing your next role.

Archetype is the language of casting! Do you know your archetype?

Once an actor becomes aware of their unique archetype this instantly allows them to start making acting choices with a script that are dynamic and original.  


I see the role I’m casting as a red apple. And often the actor who is the reddest, juiciest apple will get that red apple role. However if you, the actor are a Banana, don't bend and contort trying to turn yourself into an apple. Gift the role with the fact that you are a Banana - and show them this is what the role looks like as a Banana.”

Risa Bramon Garcia, Casting Director (Wall Street, Twister, Speed, Fatal Attraction)
