Agents at acting classes?

Hi guys! I was wondering if its true that agents will go to classes and scout actors? Is it more common in theatre or in classes? Is it a common thing to do, or is it kind of rare? ​ Thanks for your help! :)

Is there a name (or genre) of acting for someone like Nic Cage

Obviously, he's an actor. But not in the same way as Ian McKellen or Helen Miren so to speak. Is there a name for his type of performance? Or is it more people's perception of him that is important? Kind of like how Keanu Reeves is so associated with memes...

I've heard from some coaches in my community that using self tapes from previous auditions or tapes done during class is good to show casting if you have not been on many shows or productions yet. Is this a viable option for beginners?
