New and developing actors get bombarded with advice, but much of it can seriously damage your career. In this video, veteran talent agent Anthony Boyer and manager Jess Canty break down some of the worst advice actors hear when starting out: from using amateur headshots and faking IMDb credits to relying on outdated training or saying "yes" to everything.

If you're trying to book real work and build a long-term career in the entertainment industry, you need to know what to avoid. Learn why background jobs, paid query services, and the wrong day job can hold you back, and why networking and strategy matter more than chasing trends or waiting for your "big break."

Watch this before you waste time, money, or momentum.
