"What makes me castable"

My acting coach gave me an exercise, "Make a list of what you feel makes you castable, and what makes you not castable."

Those who know me well, know these things certainly do not come from a place of ego; but rather, just things which popped into my head both from what I know of myself and what people have told me.

I have a great and genuine smile.

I listen.

I have beautiful hair.

Everybody finds me "familiar"; everyone can relate to me; everybody seems to know me "from somewhere".

I am everybody's girl-next-door.

I'm approachable and trustworthy (thinking about commercial work, people will take the word of someone they trust).

I am 'available' emotionally; my heart's on my sleeve.

I am deeper than I look.

I'm a real person; people can identify with me.

I don't look anything like Pamela Anderson.

I'm not just another pretty face; there's actually something going on behind the pretty face; (I've been told I have "wise eyes").

I'm honest (to a fault perhaps).

I'm likable.

I'm a perfect 34-28-36.

I'm wise beyond my years, but to some I don't seem to have ever left the starting gate (my secret life; an interesting contrast).

I am soulful.

I have a lot to say.

I am unconventionally beautiful.

I'm interesting.

I can make people laugh; at me, and at themselves.
