Is it ok to email a casting director about a listing of theirs on Actor's Access?

Is it more important to be represented by a top agency or a top management company ?

I would assume most actors prioritize signing with a good agent more so than with a manager. In fact, isn't the impetus for most actors signing with managers so that they can get referrals/meetings with agents? Correct me if I'm wrong. Or is it case by case?...
