I looked at your other pictures and I like the other two better. The brown shirt one is my favorite.

I would say the determing factor has to be what type of work you are looking to secure with the photographs. The ones I saw on your page may work for print work or for some commercial type of work. But if you're going for theatre, television or film you may want to consider some other looks or sets.
Generally you don't want anything in the photograph that is going to detract from you. One of the biggest things I noticed right of the bat was the logo on the sleeve of the jacket. Then of course the waterfall.
LA is going bigtime towards shooting outdoors in natural light with colour prints, but once again this could change depending on where it is exactly yor looking for work. Most of my friends who work both coasts keep two to four distinctive sets of photographs to submit for jobs, depending on which coast and the type of role.
Maybe try a shot, same clothes, but from just below your shoulders up. Nice mid-close shot against a static background. An outdoor shot might make it feel a little more relaxed (Usually blurring the background) or for something more dramatic a studio setting against maybe a dark blue? Just a thought. If you speak with a professional headshot photographer and tell them what it is exactly you're looking for I'm sure they'll be able to steer you in the right direction.

It's not a typical headshot. A headshot is of your face, the reason it is referred to as a "headshot." Headshots are Black & White, not color, unless color is "standard" for your city.
Headshots should ONLY be taken by a professional headshot photgrapher familiar with actor headshots.
If you have an acting teacher, ask him or her, to give you the name of a professional headshot photographer in your city.
If you live in a small or medium-sized city, the picture may be "okay" for the city where you are pursuing acting.
If you are not in an acting class, enroll it one, it will help you network with other actors in your city. Actors are an excellent source of information for beginning actors.
Good Luck.

You mean your default photo? It's too busy (the fountain in the background), the sky is too bright, and your expression is tense.
I like the way you look in the shot by the water, though in itself it's not good for a headshot. If you could get that smile in a better shot (plain background, closer, full front), it would be quite nice. Unless, of course, you want to project the intense seriousness of the other shots.
