I almost had heart failure when I saw that picture. I thought it was a genuine photo from their Hamlet trip, then I realised that the Colin part looked a bit familiar. Lordy! Well done.

As for their online CVs, I was hoping Bradley's would have been updated to include some of his extra skills etc. Considering they have the same agent, I'm surprised their CVs are maintained in different ways.

Yes, definitely fingers crossed for an appearance at the NTAs.

Thank you, I'm glad it works so well for you. :D

That's always been bugging me, I don't know why they're maintained so differently. :|

Them being there'd be just... THE BEST THING SINCE HAMLET. *__*

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who is bugged by the CV thing. I think their pictures need an update now too.

Earlier last year I sent their agent a mail and asked if/when the pics'd be updated but they only replied that there were no plans to change them in the foreseeable future. I like the pics but they're clearly outdated - they both look like boys, not the men they are now.

I agree. If someone wants them to audition based on their CV photo, they might get a bit of a shock if they walk in looking the way they do now!

Their names and faces are probably well known enough by now that they won't need to audition based on their CV photo, what annoys me more is that the pics're still used for 'publicity' (see the Fast Girls cast site.

It can't be so difficult to change them to pics that were taken only recently, it's not like they aren't photographed pretty much every day for one reason or another...

... and there are certainly some talented and generous photographers in the Merlin fandom who'd be more than willing to take some new photos, lol.

Speaking of Fast Girls, I'm a bit disappointed that their website and facebook page weren't updated a bit more. Hopefully they will be once it gets closer to premiering.

I'd rather they use professional pics (not that there aren't good photographers in fandom, but you know what I mean). After all it's their 'professional online representation' and it isn't too much to ask for their agents to make it look professional... Katie's and Angel's agency websites are maintained much better. :|

So far it's been a disappointment, I agree. Of course not every film gets documented in the way they documented Island f.e. (bless them for all their random podcast videos etc.), but I'd hoped that once the film wrapped the website or FB'd be updated. Why setting up a website when you don't intend to use it? I hope they'll add more content soon on either site.

Yes, I agree that they need professional pics for their CVs. I wonder if it's just laziness on the part of the agency.

I've never checked out Angel or Katie agency pages. But you've got me curious now...

A fan/extra uploaded her video to the FG facebook page this week. She met Noel and one of the girls. It was so bad! It actually made me glad Bradley wasn't in that particular little snippet.

After 4 years I'd assume it's laziness.

Katie | Angel

The vids (there's another one from inside the stadium, but no Bradley there as well)'ve been uploaded in December already, I saw them back then. HORRIBLE! D: So much secondhand embarrassement for the way they approached Lenora and Noel...

Thanks for those links. I didn't realise Angel had been in so many other things, and it's great that her site has showreels. She's quite versatile really. Maybe B/C should consider changing to her agency! I didn't really think Katie's pic was all that suitable for a CV to be honest.

Yes, I definitely had second hand embarrassment as well. At least Lenora and Noel were good sports about it.

It's from a professional photo shooting and not 5 years old, I consider that superior to Bradley's and Colin's profiles. :P

They took it really well. Oh man, I wouldn't know what to do if someone'd approach me like that. But I guess at least Noel Clarke didn't experience something like that for the first time.

Reply

mickey2x5 January 14 2012, 14:03:46 UTC
Yeah, I'd say it was far from the first time Noel had had that experience. I'm certainly glad it'll (probbably) never happen to me!
