For principal film and TV roles, do talent agents use Now Casting, or only now Actors Access (Breakdowns Services) and LA Casting? What ever happened to Now Casting?

How exactly do agents find their actor clients auditions? Are the breakdowns on Actors Access the only auditions agents see, or do actors just not see all auditions?

I recently got an agent for film and TV, and I created an AA account. Maybe it’s because I’m not white and it’s the pandemic, but there are so few non-extra and union jobs. Is what I’m seeing on the public breakdowns on AA everything that my agents see...

Do actors stop using Actors Access when they become somewhat known and are with the Big Four?

So for example, Karl Glusman. Here’s his AA page: https://resumes.actorsaccess.com/one_page_resume.cfm?custom_link=723028-1964172 It’s interesting because it hasn’t been updated in a while. There are none of his credits from this year. I’ve noticed a pattern...
