Ask Aaron - December 2000

Category: Ask Aaron
From Jack, L.A.
I have gotten a head shot
taken and want to do the next step. Since I live in Louisiana , I am
not in direct touch with the major players of the industry. I will be
going to Los Angeles soon, and wanted to drop off my head shot at some
agencies, but don’t have a clue as to who to see. Can I call some
agents and ask them out to lunch? This will give them a better idea of
my character.
Dear Jack:
I would send out
the head shots first. Most agents do not want people walking into their
office to drop off head shots. If you are willing to move to LA, then
see if you can get an LA phone number, prior to your move. Place the
number on your head shot. Perhaps you can get an L.A. answering service
number. That way the agents who are interested in contacting you, will
know that you are in the area. Be ready to fly there at a moments notice
for the interview.
I am not saying it could never happen, but the chances of an agent
setting up a time to have lunch with an unknown actor, is highly
unusual. If you were recommended by someone the agent knew, that would
be a different story.
There are a number of ways to find names of agents in L.A.. You can
purchase a copy of the Ross Report. It will list all the major agents in
LA and give you a description of what they do, and who runs the
different departments. To order a copy call, 1800-817-3273. You can also
go to the SAG web site. In the search area at the
site, just type in “agents”.
When you mail your head shot, it is really important to personalize the
letter and envelope with the agent’s name. Don’t ever send a package
addressed to “Dear Agent.”
