Don't listen to anyone named Moron for starters.

John Robert Powers is a well known rip off, but obviously not well known enough.

You need to know that the entertainment business is just that, a business and you need to take it seruously. It doesn't start with you sending photos to an agent it starts with you going to acting classes and getting roles in theatrical productions. You need to get training and build a resume before an agent will even consider you. Also your pictures need to be professional.

Once you've taken some classes and gotten a few roles in theatre you can try doing some student films and maybe independents (info below). THEN once you've built up your resume with real roles, try getting an agent.

If you want to find a legitimate agent to represent you for commercials, TV & film go to Sag.org. Use the dropdown menu on the right labeled 'resources' and choose 'agent information'. On the next screen, on the left choose 'Find a SAG franchised agent' and follow the directions. You can look up agents all over the US, but there are higher concentrations where the work is (Los Angeles, NY, IL, FL, GA etc.). Another great resource is Ross Reports especially because they update their info so often but not all of the agents they list are SAG and you have to pay for the list. That doesn’t mean they’re not legit, but that’s why I always tell people to start with the SAG list. It’s free and those agents have signed an agreement to put the actor first! www.rossreports.com If you subscribe to backstage.com you can get a combo subscription which can come in handy but can also get quite expensive.

Then you can send the agencies your headshot, resume, and a cover letter stating that you are seeking representation and wait to see if they call you in for an interview. You never call the agencies directly. That is a big no-no! At least it is in LA. Please remember that reputable agents take exactly 10% of your pay AFTER they help you get a job. Not one cent more and not one cent before. Anything else is a scam. This is strictly for talent agents, not modeling agents or talent managers who take different percentages.

Once you have an agent, they will get you the auditions, but until then you can check out actorsaccess.com. For theatre (and other auditions on backstage like student films, etc), you can go to backstage.com or www.actorsequity.com (click on casting call) If you find the audition on the Equity site, you still may be able to go, as long as their not taking appointments from equity actor's only :-) On backstage.com you have to pay to get all of the info, but the initial search is free and you may be able to see enough info to find out the rest on your own without paying.

If you are under age you need to make sure your parents support your decision to do this 1000% because you cannot do anything without them. If they don't think this is a good idea perhaps you can strike a bargain in regards to them letting you go to acting class as long as you keep your grades up, etc.

good luck

Get some experience first. Take acting classes, work on theater productions.

Once you have experience, then you can look for an agent.

Agents don't "get work" for actors. They represent experienced actors who are ready to work professionally.
