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.
