Where can I find a legitimate talent agent for my 7yr old son?

Question:Hello,

It all depends on your location and what you are looking to get your child into. There is a great book you can find called the Directory of Model and Talent Agencies published by Peter Glen Publications that has a breakdown of legitimate agencies nationwide. You should also participate in some of the great online forums for parents of child models and actors where you can find valuable info from other parents who have already found their way. Check out http://themodelchild.com http://backstage.com http://ivillage.com Never pay any upfront fees and a legitimate agency will not make money until your child begins to work.

Good Luck

What kind of talent does he have?

Your agent is going to have to be withing an hour or two driving time from where you live, so you can make calls. Do web searches for 'talent agents in your town'.
