Self Tape Now Winners

The highest scoring tapes - as voted by ActorBay Members

Character Joel Harvard

Winner: John Brownlie

Joel is the ideas guy and by nature spends a lot of time with his head somewhere near the clouds. Part performer, part awkward puppy, he wants to be good with people, but has a knack for sticking his foot in his mouth. His sister Liz is his best friend, as well as his business partner, and he'd be totally lost without her. He's fun loving, mostly carefree, at least that's what he tells himself, and he'd do anything for almost anyone. Shrewd businessman he is not.
