Did fearless Los Angeles casting director Debi Manwiller (partner of Pagano/Manwiller) of “24″, 2 time Emmy winner and mother of 3 think she was Jack Bauer? After arriving in Sydney at 7:00am last Friday, she was on top of the Harbour Bridge by noon!

And this was just the start of her Sydney expedition! Saturday, in North Sydney she conducted a question and answer seminar for close to 150 Sydney actors and in the afternoon lead a master class for some of Australia’s finest.

Bet Jack Bauer could not do that after a 15 hour flight form Los Angeles.

New actors seem to be so anxious to get an agent. I often wonder why. The reality is this: it is the agent that wants you. If the talent is “marketable” then, by all means, the agent would love to work for you. No kidding. The best thing you can do for yourself is to work on your talent, skills and personality. Then, it is a matter of “Marketing” yourself so that those interested agents can find you. So remember treat the agent as if they were part of your “Tool Kit” and not just something you must have.
