The awesome world of Hollywood headshots

by SimoneMitchell on Nov 20 2008, 01:31PM

Late last month Simon and Schuster released a book in the States called Holy Headshot! A Celebration Of America’s Undiscovered Talent.

Penned by funnymen Patrick Borelli and Douglas Gorenstein, it's a collection of the wackiest performers' headshots and resumes you have ever seen. Every page makes you gasp at what Hollywood wannabes will do to grab a little attention.

Flick through our gallery above for a sample of the brilliance. And if you want to get your mits on a copy, head to this page on Amazon.

Here's a Youtube clip of one of the books "stars", Yenz Von Tillborg.

... And did he say "Parrots of the Carribean"?

I'm pretty sure he did say "Parrots", but don't put him in the ESL box just because of that.
