Hah, I wonder if he sends them that photo whenever he's trying for the bad guy part in any production...

Most actors do indeed have two (or three) different head-shots for that very reason. There's the openly accessible "I'm-your-best-friend-so-you-can-trust-me" commercial/advert shot and the intensely serious "I-am-a-respected-actor-with-years of-experience-under my-belt" dramatic shot.

It's a great head-shot. It looks like him (you'd be surprised how many don't), his eyes are very animated and the purpose of the shot is clear.

I thought it interesting that Cynthia Nixon is the only one with a color head-shot. That's the big thing in the US right now. Looks as if b&w is still the thing in the UK.
