i would sugest getting an agent first learning about the biz then being your own agent if you would like.\nto be an agent you must know where and when all the castings are and send people to the audtions. \nit would be a conflict of intrest to do both.\n\nmake sure you have your headshot/ comp card and your resume handy and ready to go

There is room for you in movies, maybe not what we think of as big time Hollywood productions, but Indie films where your language and clothing requirements would be appropriate. Get a portfolio of photos of yourself and start shopping for an agent. Good luck.

You need an agent, a real agent, and make sure that their not just a scam. Because they'll steal money from you. Your agent will then, give you information on auditions, and were they can be found. Once you audition, you wait for a call back. But don't be upset if you don't get one, many famous people have gotten plenty of "No"s before they became famous. You should also have a job to fall back on, because it is a very hard business, and very, very few people make it.  If you really want it, you have to keep auditioning for things, and learn from your mistakes when you don't get a callback.

hard work and a great agent. You should probably even go to classes for it first to have an edge but I've heard it's a very hard business to get into if you don't sound unique.

You will need to submit a "tryout".\nHe will need to show his stuff in a movie.  It can be homemade and saved as mpeg.  Then submit to any number of the companies in the industry.  You should be able to get a list via the internet search engines.\nIf he's got it and they are interested they'll contact him.\nIt would help if he had some action shots.  If you are so inclined to help him out then who knows maybe it will be your new career!\n\nGood luck.

I don't know what the books will tell you but the typical way is to start as an assitant to an agent once you get out of school. Just so you know, you won't get paid much so I hope you'll have some income saved up or you might have to live with the parents.  I'm talking about making less than 30k if you become an assistant.  If you're an intern or trainee then you'll definitely have to live with your parents, but that's another good way.\n\nThe top agencies are Creative Artists Agencey (CAA), William Morris Agency (WMA), United Talent Agency (UTA), Endeavor, Gersh and then the rest get smaller (but those could be good starting points too).  I know WMA has a agent training program but you have to selected for it (link is below).  Research all these agencies by reading about them in the trades and just checking out their website to find out where you want to go.  \n\nThen you can check out the entertainment jobs boards or find a staffing agency.  UTA even has their own joblist that not everyone gets.  Some schools sign you up for the list  upon graduation.  I don't know any other way to get that list...it's kind of a secret list but some of the jobs listed on there can also be found on the regular job boards, so don't worry if you don't get the UTA joblist.  Entertainment staffing agencies are also good because they have direct contact with these agencies.  I'll leave it up to you to do your own research on these staffing agencies.  That's the very basic run down.  Good luck.

Well, there are a few different scenarios that you could do.\n\n1) Hire a literary agent and focus all of your business through him.  Sell it under a pen name (non de plume for you adroit types).\n\n2) Look into doing the movie yourself (independent filmmakers are becoming increasingly popular)\n\n3) Use the good ole world wide web to your advantage.\n\nHowever, you should know that screenplays/scripts, etc. are difficult to sell.  First it has to be good.  Next, once the buyer gets ahold of it, it will probably be changed by a team of writers.\n\nAnd in more wicked cases, the company/person may just offer a cheaper price for the "concept" of the idea and then hire writers to do that.\n\nHence, maybe investing in an agent might be the best way to go.  They would know the in's and out's better than some poor souls randomly answering questions on Yahoo!

Uaually, you want to look in the Yellow Pages for an agent. Maybe start out with some modeling classes. If you start from there, then you can work your way up with all the famous stars.

You get a union card and an agent...show up for casting calls when they go out. Good luck!

There is no fast or easy way for this to happen. Only 10% of aspiring actors and actresses can actually make a modest living without getting a "day job."  Only 1% of that 10% will actually become hugely popular "movie stars." \n\nWith that being said, first try learning the industry before you jump into. No one became a star over night, and you won't either, so do your homework, study the craft, and hope that one day you're in the right place at the right time...\n\nbreak a leg!

It depends on what kind of acting you're trying to get into and how much experience you have.  Most actors get work in their own communitites or go through a talent agency to get different jobs.  Places like L.A. and New York are going to afford you more opportunities to work in acting because they're bigger citites, but opportunity doesn't always equal actually getting a job.  \n\nIf you're serious about acting professionally look around your area for people who will be knowledgeable about it.  Check colleges, community theatre groups, and credible talent agencies near you in order to get yourself better informed.

Experience. If you are of school age, see if your high school or college as a drama or theater department.  Look for a local community theater group and join it.  I promise you that you will have the time of your life performing.  Once you've join a theater group, talked to the director about who in the area teaches acting.   \n\nConsider some singing and dance lessons also, as they are helpful talents for any actor.\n\nLike anything worthwhile, it takes time, practice, and disciple. But unlike most other things, it is FUN the whole time.  Both of my daughters have acted in community theater and are now married to guys they acted with, and my oldest boy is engaged to a fellow actress.  So a local community theater group is an excellent social contact place as well.\n\nI would go on, but I have to leave for rehearsal for "Once Upon a Mattress" opening in August...(Tickets available of anyone who would like to come...)

Get some portfolio shots done and register yourself with casting agencies... Highlight as many skills you might have eg Horseback riding, martial arts, walking using hands etc...\n\nIf they don't call, call them and see if there is anything out there for you...\n\nBut be warned castings are tough though, there are always 10's/100's of people going for the job too, can be a bit like an X factor audition...

well nava if u want it enuf only u can make this happen, the opportunity will not come and sit on ur lap, u must go out there and get what you want. it takes a lot of practice and years of experience to star in a move so keep motivated and know that as long as u keep trying u will succeed
