Yes
An actor has been visiting my pub as he is in a local theatre production
OK he's not made it big in the film world, but was a key character in The Bill in it's early days, and, is a very good theatre actor.

In the past, I have had loads of actors/actresses visit my pub because we are close to a couple of Theatres.
I always think, as someone interested in photography and running a pub, it would be nice to photograph some of these actors and have a spot for them on the pub's website. Trouble is, I'm always embarrassed to ask, and afraid of loosing their business.

How do you guys think I should approach this? Or should I just leave thenm alone to enjoy the pub?
 
personally i'd leave them to enjoy the pub

they probably need the pub atmosphere to unwind and chill out
 
Offer him a free pint and ask at the same time. Ask about his work. He's an actor - he's used to the publicity and as my Dad's an actor, I can assure you that all recognition is deeply appreciated.
If you start a 'gallery' of interesting visitors on one of the walls, that in itself becomes a talking-point for the bar, making it easier to broach the subject on future occasions.

A friendly local is a friendly local - they'll not avoid you because you like having actors drink there...

If you don't ask you don't get. The famous Anstruther fish and chip shop in Scotland has photographs of lots of famous people eating there including Tom Hanks. If they enjoy your pub that's not going to change just because you want a portrait photograph on the walls.

Just ask em.
 
I love Arkadys idea of a gallery. Would be a nice focal point in the pub. Some really nicely done relaxed portrait shots.
