Hi,im just wondering weather updating spotlight with commersial jobs is a good idea or not!
my ds has had a few lead/speaking roles in adverts recently and they have been scripted and acted rather than just featured.
will it go for or against him if these roles are credited on spotlight?

I would think all credits are worth putting on, some people advise against putting on 'extra' work as you can get labelled, but even one or two of those would show he has experience of being on set, taking direction etc, and there is a reference point for directors to watch him if he doesn't have a show reel. I have put my dds commerxcial credit on there.

I have wondered about this too, when we joined Abacus I noticed they got rid of all modelling, drama awards and some short film pieces from his Spotlight page.
I guess they know what they are doing.
Maybe it doesn't look too good having lots of stuff on there that isn't tv.
It would be interesting hearing other peoples opinions on this!
