IMDb as a dating tool in LA
In LA, appearance and perception are paramount and the question “Should I date him?” is never far off from the question “What can he do for my career?” (even if the hoped-for answer is “nothing”.) By typing an actor’s name into the IMDb search engine, you can consider his credits one by one (assuming there is more than one). You can see if he was telling the truth about that TV show he just shot. Did he have lines or was he just a background extra? Has he done anything respectable or has it just been low-budget straight-to-video stuff? Has he, God forbid, done porn?
