A racing friend does a lot of acting and always posts casting calls and there was one for "man with beard" and well, I am a man with a beard. Surprisingly I got a call to go audition (my beard is far from magnificent) for a mustache part (I guess because I'll allow them to actually shave me?). The audition was over Zoom and I was lucky that I do YouTube and had a tripod and good lighting. 

Anyways, it was a neat experience!

Is shaving you part of the film/commercial/show?

You might want to carefully consider the product being sold by the commercial.

You likely really don't want become the face of adult incontinence, herpes, or erectile dysfunction.

As a teenager, my  younger brother used to do a steady trade in commercial modeling. When I got my drivers license, Mom made it my job to drive him to "Cattle Calls". Besides the bonus of getting keys to all the family cars and a credit card to pay for fuel, I got 10% of any job he landed.  

Interesting business.

I would do this. Good luck!

Coincidentally, I've been clean shaven once since I was 19, when I had a very small part in a production of the opera Madama Butterfly. They never told me that I had to shave until the night before the performance, at that point, I didn't feel like I could back out. Looking back, I'm glad I went through with it.

Or not?:

....Shortly after Offer stepped back a bit from his company, the ShamWow Guy got into a physical altercation with an alleged sex worker in Miami Beach. Both Offer and the woman in question were arrested by local police. Offer claimed the woman bit his tongue and wouldn't let go, according to the police report. Offer's image — this time an unflattering mugshot — once more went viral, along with unfortunate headlines such as "ShamWow Guy Beats Up Cannibal Hooker" (via Gawker). The incident happened after a 12-hour drinking binge, according to Offer (via NBC News).....

Well I just had a second screening, this time with the director. My kids think this is simultaneously the coolest and most hilarious thing that has ever happened to me.

I'm guessing that the director saw your "bring a closet" video and this interview process is all a formality laugh

The BlipShift guys thought that video was hilarious. I never heard if it made it to BaT or not.

I get the feeling BaT takes themselves pretty seriously these days.

I laughed out loud though, hadn't seen that before, nice video!
