Getting Kids Into Acting And Film

Feb 7th, 2009 by Alan Yu

I was having Dim Sum with the family today and one thing that came up was that my brother told me that I should ask my agent if they would be willing to take on his 2 and a half year old son (My Nephew of course) as they thought it would be a fun experience for him.

Himself and his wife actually tried to get him into a commercial audition once except the production people mentioned that he was too young as at minimum the kid had to be at least 3 years old for some kind of legality reason. I guess that kind of encouraged them to peruse the film industry even more.

Like most people I only read about kids that grew up ion the world of film and how it can be really good or really bad for them. Must be interesting too as at that age you don’t really have to much choice in terms of making decisions for your career. At the end they said they wanted me to be his agent. Lol.

All I said I could do is if they wanted I can post up some funny footage of him on YouTube and see what happens from there since there are so many babies/kids that became popular that way. I have one video where my nephew smacks me over the head with like a doll……so maybe I’ll do something for the heck of it and if an agent or company discovers him well then all the better huh?
