OVERDEVELOPMENT COME ON

by: atrahan - July 23rd, 2009

My agent sent me this email today after I sent her the two digital images of me in the black compression shorts (they're in my photos): "I have to tell you that your hair needs to be cut and you need to stop the weight lifting or whatever you are doing that is over doing your muscle build up."

I tried to make my legs look as slim as possible by turning them a little inward while still keeping them flexed. That hurt, btw.

That's Hollywood for you, in a nutshell. Leading men aren't what they used to be.

I know its probably a serious source of income for you, but I would advise to at the very least keep your gains and maintain. Don't let some shallow hollywood bullshit force you to take steps backwards for what you worked so hard for.

Yeah, although it sucks, I understand her perspective. It's more the climate of the ent. industry. That "heroin chic" crap is coming back and she's just trying to keep up.

LOL, "over doing your muscle buildup". I guess there is no middle ground. Either Paris Hilton/Nicole Richie or Godzilla!!!!!

Can we say "new agent" !!
everyone SHOULD have thier own look and identity ! Not some "cookie cutter" where every other person has the same haircut or style !! We are all unique and should be proud of that !!

I think you look great! I have a friend that is getting parts now and he was told the same thing about a year ago.

Something else to add. When I was in college I weighed 103 lbs. at 5'2" and was told that for my height I was overweight. I was told that I needed to weigh 98 lbs for the runway. I tried to loose weight but had no body fat to lose. Talk about being frustrated and embarrassed for being fat. Did I say Fat?? I havn't gotten any taller, haven't lost below 103 and have modeled since being discouraged.

Thanks Sheila. No matter how you slice it, the girls definitely have it rough out here as well. They are told to diet and most do so with little or no knowledge of nutrition and end up loosing all the muscle they had, and look like shapeless stick figures. Truly repelling in my opinion.

To Chosenone: That's the big problem is that There really is no middle ground for men. It's either swimmer physique (see skinny hipster), fat for comedy, or 250 ripped for very, very small parts that are few and far between (Unless you're Dwane Johnson). Its sucks having to stay in a perpetual maintenance phase, but, oh well. This email just made me LOL when I read it.

I will cut my hair though.
