A. 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.) Then you can send them 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. Once you have an agent, they will get you the auditions, but until then you can check out actorsaccess.com. You can also see if your state has a film alliance. Sometimes… [cont.]

Can any agent find out how much commission the buying and selling agents were paid in a recent sale?
Q. Do all agents have the capability to find out how much commission was paid to the selling and buying agents of a specific transaction or is it confidential to the agents specific to the transaction? If the information is available, is this information publicly available or is it only available to listed agents via their real estate agencies? Thx in advance.

A. It isn't public information. It is on the closing statement, or HUD-1 form from the lender, but that is only given to the involved parties to the transaction.

Is the submission process different between US and UK/Canadian literary agents?
Q. I'm expanding my lit agent search to UK and Canadian agents. I have my standard query letter model that I've used for US agents, but I wasn't sure if there's a different culture regarding submissions for UK or Canadian agents. I've read that UK agents generally don't place as much importance on the letter as US agents do, and if that's the case, I'm assuming you can keep it bare bones. Advice?

A. You can start by purchasing Writers' and Artists' Yearbook and/or The Writer's Handbook for UK agents, or The Canadian Writer's Market and/or The Canadian Writer's Guide for Canadian agents. I've never read these books, but if they are anything like Writer's Market then they will contain the information that you need. I would advise you to take a close look at what market would be best for your book. The US market is the largest in the world. If your book is more likely to do well in the US it would make more sense to find an agent in the US because agents make a larger percentage when a book is sold in a foreign market.

What are some good acting agents in California and what work have they found that makes them good?
Q. I'm planning on moving to California and trying to become a professional actor. I'm 23 and my ultimate goal is to become a TV actor. Every bit of advice I've gotten is pretty much the same, "You will need an agent."

You're right you do need an agent, however unless you're SAG, you may find you have a hard time getting an agent to even give you the time of day.

A. In FL, it's "will you write me" and "who are you going to quote me with". You want an a rated carrier, with someone like AM Best. There are a buncha new, unrated carriers cropping up, like Cypress, but since they aren't rated at all, you don't even know if they'll be in business the day after a major hurricane. For the most part, a good agent will ask YOU lots of questions, to be sure that you're insured propertly. I know a GREAT insurance agent in FL - www.huttinsurance.com I'm not affiliated, but I've brokered stuff through them, and they do a bang up job.

A. Agents don't look at plays at the amateur level. There are a million such and there are so many people who want their services that they wouldn't have the time. You have to be in summer stock or somewhere professional or almost professional. As for what they look for, it's mostly looks. If you have devoted every second of your existence to securing a part so that you get a job acting in a major venue, and if you're tall, extremely beautiful and sexually appealing and appear to have some intelligence (a secondary requirement), you might get noticed--if you're lucky.

A. In a cover letter you want to sound as personable as possible... Though it's not the thing you should be worrying about. What you need to make sure is amazing is your Resume... A resume is the most essential item for an actor. It tells the Casting director all they need to know... What they're capable of and if they are experienced or not. It can even tell them your certain Type Cast you are... That means its the role you tend to play, like Shy and sweet, or loud and obnoxious. Your resume can tell them whether your versatile or not... So its extremely important! never do this: What !ris said is totally WRONG about one thing! you NEVER should attach your photo to your resume and/or your contact information because if the casting… [cont.]

What do you think about free agents who sign to another team specifically for more money?
Q. I'm not talking about free agents who leave because their team sucks, I'm talking about the ones who are all about the money. Do you think it's disrespectful to the game that most pro athletes care more about money than winning championships?

A. What we fans do not understand is the NBA is a business. They have a union just like teachers. Derek Fisher is head of it. Anyways, they need to look out for their families and $ like in the real world is essential. Also, what if they have kids and the team that they are looking into have better schooling than the state their team is now? If I was an NBA player I would take every chance of this opportunity. Fans need to understand this. I mean there are other reasons why players move because their team sucks and like us they always go for the best opportunity. What I do not agree with are players, like Sprewell whose game I idolize saying that he needs more $ because he needs to feed his family the guy was making 11 million and the T-Wolv [cont.]

How can I find new literary agents?
Q. I write mostly young adult genre fiction and I'm trying to get a manuscript published. I've tried a lot of agents that are reputable already. I heard that agents who have just gotten into the business are eager for new authors, so I want to know how can I find them? Is there a website or a newsletter I can sign up for that gets articles about new legit agents?

A. Jeff Herman's Guide To Book Publishers, Editors, & Literally Agents. They have one for every year. It's really good it has a whole bunch of agents, and publishers, and how to write a query. The young adult author Meg Cabot swears by it.

How do you find agents that handle the correct genre of book?
Q. My friend is writing a Christian fantasy book and I am helping him research how to send it to publishers. We know that through an agent is the best way, but I don't know how to find what agents handle books like that...how do I research that? Thanks so much! Some one else gave me the idea of checking books, but I have yet to really find anyone thanking their agent in the ones I have checked...so good idea, but does it really work?

A. Libraries and Book Stores! Your best bet is going to your local library or book store with a notebook and a pen. Open up the books, and look for acknowledgments the author has made that can include their agent or publisher. How to find the right agent? just go to that genre and there ya go! The main reason you can't use the internet, because good agents who are legit will not advertise on the internet, especially those google ads. So be warey, your best bet is what i mentioned. And of course, be prepared to get rejected, but keep trying.
