Acting Agent

Find Acting Auditions

With all these wonderful things that a acting agent could do to help further your career, what could possibly be the problem with having a acting agent? There are horror stories of acting agents ripping off people and the fact that a acting agent will want exclusivity doesn’t sit well with some talent. There is a valid reason for acting agents wanting an exclusive agreement with the talent they manage. Put yourself in the acting agent’s shoes. If the acting agent really does a good job and you end up making millions of dollars, they don’t want someone else reaping the benefits of the hard work, time and money they invested to help make you successful.

Another negative aspect of a bad acting agent is when an acting agent brings on too many talents and end up spending all of their time helping the talent who are hot get work and not putting any effort into getting the others started. For the talent who is being neglected, this is a lot of time wasted. In addition, some management contracts are structured so that the acting agent gets a commission on any work that the talent gets whether she/he had anything to do with acquiring that work or not. You may be working like crazy, making lots of money and end up paying a portion of it to the acting agent who you hardly ever hear from; that is a hard pill to swallow for most.
