I can usually tell, and I'm sure Brian can... but not always. I shot a girl in January who started shivering about a quarter way into the shoot. Between still sets she would prop a small heater on her legs and blow hot air over herself. She insisted she just had a slight fever, and was adamant about finishing the shoot. I honestly thought she was just a bit sick, and was glad she was a trouper about finishing the shoot.
A couple days later I found out from another model that the girl was addicted to Oxycontin, her agent had flown her across the country knowing this, and the day of my shoot they'd got to the methadone clinic after it had closed and she was actually having withdrawal symptoms on my set.
I don't have any personal experience with, or have ever been around people who do drugs like Oxy or heroin, so maybe that's why I wasn't more suspicious of the girl's appearance and behavior.
And, of course, I'm still using the agent because he finds hot girls.
