Local theater.  It is the best place to start.  You can also look around for small studios and drop off head shots.  It sometimes works.  Shoe to a casting call for extras if a movie is being made if your area.  This one is a little tougher. But they are the step ladder to help you out.

It's best to get some experience first.  An agent won't take you on if you're an unknown quantity.  \n\nTake some acting classes.  If you're interested in film/TV, take classes geared toward that.  Do some community theatre, volunteer to be in student films at your local college.  (Ask for a copy of the tape as payment.)  \n\nGet some nice headshots done.  It's good to have the picture printed on postcards, so when you're in a production you can use them to send out announcements to agents/casting directors.  Sometimes they come to showcases.  \n\nAudition for everything.  You'll learn something new every time, and you'll be come a familiar face.  \n\nOnce you have some credits to put on a resume and some experience under your belt, start applying to agencies.  You may get a "Sorry, we have enough of your type/age/experience now."  Don't badger them, but re-apply in six months.  \n\nKeep studying, keep working on the craft, and be a cooperative actor.  Word of mouth is a powerful factor, and if you get a reputation as difficult, it won't matter how good you are.  \n\nBreak a leg!

uh..you should go on craigs list ( The website) and look under your state and find the film/tv postings under jobs. a lot of times there are local indie films being filmed and they need PA's and interns and help.

Good place to start is to check your state's film office.  They will post casting notices, but only if there is work in your state.  I would also try casting sites like mandy's.com and craigslist.  They're a bit more local oriented too, which is the best way to start since no one is going to pay you a decent amount.  Also check with casting agents, but only if you actually want to act.\nFinally realize extras are treated as though they are props and usually are paid very little for long work days 12+ hours, and generally are disappointed in the paycheck

check out the shows website, whichever one you wish to be on.  most of them have instructions on how to be a contestant on them.\nsome require you just to answer some questions online, others require you to take some sort of test to prove your knowledge.  pre-testing before you can make it on the show.\nit can take smarts plus personality.  tv is entertainment after all.

well most agents have law degrees.  due to the legalities of everything and all the contracts you have to deal with.  But if these are people you know that would be willing to sign with you i would draft a contract and have them sign it.  The only problem is that you will need to do a lot of leg work in the beginning because noone will know who you are.  Youre also going to have to get them into acting unions because most bigger movies only take actors from the unions.  It is quite a process but if you put the work in you can be very successfull.

Go to their website. They have a list of things you need to do. You need to fill out an application, make a video including everyone you plan on bringing with you, send in pictures of you and your help team, write a small paragragh about why you should be on the show, etc.
