Risky to do TalentLink (finds you talent agency) and potentially lose my current agency?

My current talent agency is "okay." I've been with them for years (never signed any exclusivity contract) and have gotten me some decent co-stars, but they only send me auditions once a month. TalentLink allows an actor to pay a fee for their profile to be...

Is acting a career I should look into?

I’m 21 years old and I am very lost with my life, not knowing what direction I want to go. I had an idea one night that maybe I should pursue acting or at least go into the entertainment industry. I remember this one event in my university marching band...

Is it even worth the hassle to get "office-appropriate clothes"? what are the chances?

I'll be doing my first "work" as a background actor soon, and, almost definitely the last, cause i'm just doing this for the experience. The experience to probably be treated like scum between toes, and eat lukewarm soup for lunch, as far as i've heard. I'm...

Am I obliged to work again if recalled?

Recently I booked a non-union background gig as a Police Officer. There were no notes in the original casting call stating that I would potentially be required to work additional days. A few days after the job was completed, I got a text from a casting...

Bad news for Actors & anyone in the Entertainment Industry

Before I declare my prediction, because at the end of the day that is all this post is, I'd like to say that I harbor no animosity towards the entertainment industry. In all honestly, even though I'm a major in CS and Finance at a good university, I've always...

What credit for a non-speaking role in a re-enactment for a documentary/true crime show?

I'm unclear how a role like this is credited. I was recently cast in a non-union true crime show, playing a real named person who was part of the crime, re-enacting the events. I don't speak on screen--instead there is narration over the top of several of us...

Does anyone have insight on how Eco-Cast works on the CD's end?

So when you're logged into Actors Access, there's a dropdown at the top for auditions, then you can go to Eco-Cast auditions, and choose either current or archived. I always assumed that when one moves from current to archived, then that means they've passed...
