Answer 1

It depends on many factors. Sometimes an agency, stopped working with an actor client, and must replace him or her with another actor.

Some NY agents want actors that have a Theater Degree from a top graduate school.

Some agents want actors that have a great Broadway belt voice, so they can be submitted for Broadway musicals.
It depends on the current needs of the agency.

An agency may have lost their leading man/woman and must replace that actor with a similar type.

There are too many factors that go into what the needs of the agency are, at that particular moment, on that day.
