Popular Types Of Body Part Modeling

Believe it or not some models are paid just because they have beautiful hands!

And this does not include the huge amount open casting calls for extras that now take place across America and beyond. One of the most frustrating things that talent must deal with is going to an open call only to find out that it is not an "official call" for a film or television show, but rather some sort of sales pitch for acting schools or non-legit t
