I need a new headshot for my hot-as-a-habanero acting career. And I’d appreciate your input.
Should I go with…
The Dear-in-the-Headlights, Lipless look?
The Sepia-toned Non-Threatening Boys Magazine pin-up — again, lipless? (Contrary to conventional wisdom, Hollywood HATE lips.)
The Close Talker?
The Narcissist?
The Leno I?
The Leno II?
The Hideous Mutant Eye Creature?
The Blast Hardcheese?
The Shandling?
The He-Blowed-Up-Real-Good?
The Galactus? (Or… The Some Other Interdimensional Jerkwad?)
or…
…The Beelzebill?
Please advise.
(…And yeah, I just got a new Mac.)

Just be thankful I’m not wearing a Sexy Santa costume.

In Leno I and II, you bear a passing resemblance to John Lithgow. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not…
Oh, and I pick The Beelzebill.

I’d go with either Blast Hardcheese or Beezlebill. If there is one thing that modern Hollywood has taught me, its that the more lunk-headed or eviler you look, the more beloved you are by the studios.

That Blast Hardcheese is hunky, but if it’s Hollywood greatness you’re shooting for I’d go with the Narcissist. Or Beelzebill, obviously.

Well… several people on the forums have been asking for new headshots of you. You’re nothing if not obliging.
The last time I got a headshot, the delightful makeup artist announced that I was pale enough that she didn’t even have the proper foundation shade. She had to MAKE some, and ground up little bits of chalk to mix with, I don’t know, sour cream. That seemed to suffice.
As for you, Mr. Corbett, I’d advise you to go with The Narcissist. Because Hollywood *will* understand that.

May I suggest that like my sister and I you go for the ‘too cool for school’ look if you will.

I would go with the sepia-toned, “I will totally not molest you… scoutmaster’s honor!” one. You could get some good roles with that. DeNiro? Watch out!

Ah, I too got a new Mac a few weeks ago, and spent (or wasted) quite some amount of time that first night engaging in this same activity.
As for my opinion, I’d say any pics featuring your ski lodge-like “knotty pine” decor is as good as gold.

Bill, it takes a true genius to make a post creepier than one with super 8 video of Ed Wood cross dressing in it, but you, sir, have done it.

Frankly, I thin you should use them all under different names, and try to pass yourself off as the hot new family of brother actors. Look out, Baldwins! Here come the Corbetts!
Also, I’m surprised nobody noticed that your “hideous eye creature” is apparently also a vampire, or has at least been recently bitten on the front of the neck by one.

Honestly the Leno’s look interesting if not creepy. With your permission I would like to take the deer in headlights pick and try to make you look totally awesome. Will I pull it off well that’s up to you and my paint program’s I use. Lets just say I’m pretty good at it considering I made my own custom trading card ( baseball, football, etc. ) with a klingon as the char. I would have used a shot of myself but I’m not photogenically inclined if you get my drift.
Thanks

Thanks. Always humbling to know that one’s work in this world is appreciated.

I’d go with the “He-Blowed-Up-Real-Good” look. I think it symbolizes the vast amount of knowledge that comes from your brain, and the super funny words that come out of your mouth.

I dunno… I really like the Leno I. It’s what an amusement park caricature drawing would look like as a real person.

I vote the close talker. It screams “I’m Bill Corbett. I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, I’m talented enough, and I know where you sleep at night.”

Hey Bill!
Before I go to Mexico in the morning, What kind of Tequila do you, Mike, & Kevin like?

“Before I go to Mexico in the morning, What kind of Tequila do you, Mike, & Kevin like?”
RVR II — I don’t drink no more. That is to say, I like all kinds of tequila, and other booze, way too much. As for the other guys, you’d have to ask them.
Have fun in Mexico. While you’re there, don’t forget to put on a colorful mask and wrestle.

I understand. Thanks for the Support!
I’ll go with the nickname; ‘El Loco Gringo!”
Have a GR8 Holiday!

Well thought it over Bill and decided to make you a custom card. Only thing’s I didn’t originally create here are your picture and the 3D Servo. I did however, make Servo look much better than the original I borrowed it from. Oh and that Servo was originally created in 2002 by Jeff Zehnder.

Haha, wow - so much face, Bill.
I dunno, I’m leaning toward the Close Talker (”can you HANDLE all this Corbett!?”) and the Leno II.

I always seem to appreciate the little throwaway jokes best of all, i.e. “Beelzebill.”
