"I'd think about doing a reshoot altogether. But if you must choose one, I'd say "C" for the more traditional headshot, or "B" for something a little different. Either way, you'll have plenty of room to write on your forehead.
Then again, I kind of like "E" cuz it's a bit offbeat with a sort of a film noir look to it, but you're wearing ripped-out jeans with long underwear showing through which concerns me. What were you doing wearing long underwear in a photo studio under hot lights? It makes me think that maybe you're a bit too odd or possibly mentally unbalanced or not really a professional comic who can afford a decent pair of jeans. What would your mother think of this photo? Pretty disturbing.
I like "D" too. It's a nice close-up that at first glance seems to show a thoughtful, yet warm personality behind the cute dimples. But after further inspection, I start to wonder why the top half of your head is cut off. "My God," I think to myself. "Has some portion of his head been horribly disfigured in some sort of freak accident?" "Is there a gaping hole in his cranium leaving actual grey matter exposed and glistening from the stage lights that will scare the living shit out of the patrons in the club?" And when I look at the eyes, I realize there's really nothing there. Just a blank stare as if you were some sort of human-clone-android experiment that the government has unleashed on the public in an attempt to measure the ability of humans to tolerate yet another new, freakish life-form like they did when they introduced Michael Jackson and, more recently, the Spice Girls.
I would totally eliminate "A" from consideration. The tilted head and the rather stern look seem to convey a hint of arrogance and the condescending attitude of so many modern Jews who so readily seem to dismiss others as not being nearly as important or well-off or as smart as they which I, for one, totally resent. How dare you insinuate that I am not your equal and deserving of the utmost respect and that Norwegians are people, too. All I'm asking for is to be treated with a little dignity so that I may carry on the proud traditions that have been instilled in me by me forefathers. You Bastard!"
