Dear Michael:i usually book roles five years younger than I am. Casting directors regularly ask me my age, and they are always surprised. I would honestly prefer not to disclose my age, as I believe it alters their perception of me for the role. Is there a polite way of not disclosing my age? Another professional who found out my age strongly suggested that I never disclose how old I really am. I don't want to lie, but I'd rather not share the truth either, as it really doesn't matter, as long as I look or act right for the part, no? I've thought of giving an age-range answer, but I'm concerned that casting directors may take offense at an obvious dodge of their question.—Peter Pan's SisterNew YorkDear Pps:You're absolutely right. Age is a tricky issue, especially for women. And I'm frankly a little shocked that casting directors are even asking your age.
