Actors, what Type are you?

For the record, and it might help you get more Background Acting work with less frustration so take it for what it is worth. In my opinion, there are only three background roles for men or women. These roughly correspond to the body type personality theory of: 1. Endomorph, 2. Ectomorph, and 3. Mesomorph.

 For men I call them 1. Blue collar guy, 2. Super Hero, 3. The Professor.
 For women the roles would be: 1. Girl Next door, 2. Sex pot, 3. The Matron

Identify your type and practice cultivating your personality type to appear more "real." This is a different exercise than trying to expand your acting ability, or increase your empathetic understanding.
