Typecasting, discover your type (sort of)

Typecasting is industry lingo used by directors of film, television and commercials for casting generically according to the actor's personality or physical appearance to convey an immediate message to the audience.

Bob Fraser has published a excellent article to help one to discover or understand how casting directors see you.

And, just for fun, I've discovered my own somewhat unorthodox approach. While there's definitely more to typecasting then just looks, I figured out who I kind of look like so I could ask myself what sort of roles these actors are getting.

How do I find out how I look like?

Ask a visual pattern-face recognition algorithm -- duuuh!!
