IMDbPro: How should aspiring actors utilize IMDbPro to help them in their careers? What other advice would you share with them?
Merle Dandridge: Depending on what you’re using it for, IMDbPro can have a myriad of uses. If it’s for auditioning, I find it’s good to get a feel for the producing/creative team’s bodies of work. Perhaps you’ve worked with them before or have really vibed on one of their previous projects. It’s important to do the research on whom you will be collaborating with in addition to being fully prepared with the material. Do your homework.
