Question: Do I need to hire an agent or can my friend that is an Art Director become my agent, is there any possibility!?

First of all, you don't "hire" any agent!. If they agree to represent you, they take a percentage of your earnings as their pay!.

And your friend could be your agent, sure, but as a "civilian" he wouldn't get notification of any auditions!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
