Take a look at this VERY interesting blog about branding (aka: "type" for actors) - though, in this context, they are talking about logos (aka: "headshots" for actors.) It helps to illustrate how very a simple logo can burn meaning into our minds - your headshot can be just as effective if you utilize it correctly!

Thanks for linking Erin!
I never would've imagined drawing the relationship between branding and the acting world (or headshots), but once you say it read it aloud, it definitely makes sense!
I couldn't imagine the discipline required to commit to and trust the sustainability of one's own image as marketing material.
I'll stick to behind the camera (or computer as it were).
