- 'Old Community Actor' clique
- Mandatory requirement for this group is you must be 50 or older. Typically, they have been an active participant in their local community theater or church play. Don't be thrown off by their age, as they will show up to anything and everything - including a part that calls for a 15 year old ... in a torture-porn movie.
- 'House Wife' clique
- This might be self explanatory, but in case you need help - these 'kept' women woke up one day (after their kids left for school), looked in the mirror (to examine their new face) and as their soap was playing in the background said to themselves 'Hey, I can do that' .
- 'College Hipster' clique
- Easy to spot, as their hipster clothing and slouched stance is a dead give-away. Usually have a friend or two who is a film student and played a role in their school project. Acting to them is often viewed as 'self expression'...that is until acting becomes too mainstream and they move on to a lesser known art - perhaps pottery.
- 'Acting Class' clique
- As much as it pains me to admit it, I am a card carrying member to this group. Walking into an audition is like walking into a scene study class, you know at least two people there, and conversation usually entails 'What do you think the scene objective is?', 'My beats and actions were totally off', 'So did you audition for that short-film about the introspective look into the life of unicorns?'
- 'Working Actor' clique
- In my mind these are the jocks and the cheerleaders of the audition lunch room. Walking in, you will notice them right away as they ooze with confidence and smell of sunshine. The good news? They are probably audition just to keep 'fresh' as they already landed a reoccurring role on a network sitcom *insert taped audience laughter here*
