Like for real model. With an agency, getting photo shoots done, seeing your face on stuff. If the lady was to be believed, it pays pretty well and my look is in demand (clean cut, 40ish, no tats, reasonably attractive).

I think Woody was in a calendar once 
Curtis has had at least one role in a commercial.
I have been a model.
Of what NOT to do unless you really want to have stories about truly berkeleyed up E36 M3.
I've built a few models but none were ever featured in anything famous. I do want to blow one up one day.
In a distant previous life, I had to evaluate prospective purchasers for a franchise company. One applicant was a nice young man who had spent several years as a top model in Europe (and made a packet of money doing it.) Our application form included sections for "previous work experience" and "What did you learn from this job?" This guy hadn't done much besides modelling, but he wrote that he had "learned punctuality." Seemed like a reasonable answer.
I'm a stuntcock.
In reply to Trans_Maro :
I do all my own stunts, thanks. 
I actually "applied" once; gave a photo to a modelling agency that was recruiting men with my build about 10 years ago. I never heard back - I think it was my long hair and full beard. They weren't as trendy then, and now that they are I cut them all off.
Either that or I'm uglier than I think. Which is almost certainly true. I am a guy, after all.
I've always found myself feeling like I wasn't born, just injection molded. Now that I think about it, Mom kind of did look like a sprue and her maiden name was Revell...
Maybe you recognize my work as "Before" in late night infomercials...
Modeling is more fickle than politics and meaner. Run away.
Doing a shoot once or twice is a fun thing you can brag about in bars. Go for it. Making your living as a model is a whole different thing. Run.

Actually, I used to work as a hand model under the stage name Ray McKigney.
That was until... well, let's just say that it didn't end well.
I have been modeling professionally for about 3 years now. There are many elements of the job I enjoy, but the stress and strain of it all can fatigue you sometimes. 
I've always wondered how proud the parents of the actor/actress in the herpes commercials are. Look; that's my daughter on tv, the one with STDs!

1000% this.
Actually making a living at it may be more taxing and stressful than any of the other commercial performing arts (acting, comedy, theater, etc.). Casting schedules are grueling, and paydays are few and far between. If it's something you can do on the side to experience the world while maintaining a real job, go for it. If you're considering making it a career, be ready for immense amounts of stress.

Hey, have you done any acting under the name of Buck Naked?

You've seen Lethal Weapon?
I was a hand/arm model when I worked at a Jeep place.
Had to quit though, the last photo shoot they wanted me to show some shoulder, that wasn't in my contract.
I can't post any examples here, obviously, but there was some "still" work from my time as a stunt cock for the adult film industry.
In reply to Huckleberry :
Those would be the "before" pics that Wall-E mentioned?

Are you sure she wasn't just coming on to you?
I recently had some pretty severe burns on my face. Luckily, it didn't affect my modeling career. Boy, do I have the perfect face for radio. I tells ya. And my singing voice? Boy oh boy. I'm a real hit in the silent films biz.
