Television Modeling Models who appear on television are usually more interested in acting than in modeling. They hope to become actors by starting out in commercials; cable television programs, such as home shopping shows; industrial films, which are videotaped for in-house corporate viewing; and game shows, including those that need assistants for the contest or for displaying prizes such as "The Price is Right" or "Deal or No Deal." Television modeling is extremely competitive, both because physical requirements for television models differ from those for print or live modeling and because so many people are interested in acting. Although there are some non-speaking parts for television models, being prepared for speaking roles adds to a model's versatility. Network television offers models the most exposure, prestige, and money.
