Actor Growth

So yesterday while going to the Vancouver Film Studios I was mingling around with some of the production people and other performers as that is usually what you do to kill time. As you all know, one thing on my mind this year was an agency change and so I casually talked to people about their opinions about various agencies.

I can tell you I was so surprised at some of the answers that I heard. While I can’t reveal the information I was told, it was so crazy to hear the opinions about various agencies as us as the performers hear one thing based on our experiences. As you may expect, the reputation for some agencies was the other way around when the name was mentioned to the people that were working on the production either in the form of casting or management.

It just makes it so much more confusing. That is usually expected though as when it comes to representation sometimes you have people on an agency’s roster that has the best experience ever while others would say they are the worst. In the end the only real way to find out is to say join them and to see for yourself. It’s really tough too as you don’t really want to waste your time in joining a place that does nothing for you or is limiting your opportunities because they have say a bad relationship with casting directors.
