One of Mircea Oprea's Goals - Working with and learning from Steven Spielberg
The Early Days
1982 Headshot of Mircea Oprea
Starting out: Thank you for the Opportunity Ford Modeling Agency
One of my first headshots - back when they were in black and white. Not sure why. The photographer, James Roderick. Originally I signed with Ford Modeling agency, and would later obtain an agent and a manger to help navigate the commercial, TV and film market. In my pre-teen years I was in two movies, Here Come the Tigers, and Manny's Orphans. Directed by Sean Cunningham, both were shot locally in Fairfield County CT. That set the acting bug.
. . . and Today
2018 Headshot of Mircea Oprea
Reboot: Thank you for the Opportunity Central Casting Los Angeles
Flash forward to August of 2018. While on vacation in New York, I took a trip to visit my old stomping grounds in New York City. Everywhere I walked, I saw production trailers camped along certain streets and avenues, reminding me of my working back in my late teens. As soon as I got back to California I researched getting back into the TV/Film industry. I chose to go with Central Casting and work as a background artist as I wanted to be in a position where I could really watch and learn as much as possible.
