you don't NEED experience but it is good!.!.!. its like would u rather have a good basketball player on your team who has only played for a year or one who is equally as good and has been playing for 6 years!.!.!.!. but i guess it doesn't matter about extra work!.!. u just have 2 have the look they want but it help to build up your resume maybe you can do some community theater or something but before trying to get an agent builf up your resume

Yes, it definitely helps to have acting experience!. According to Cameron Diaz' bio she was a model when she was first cast in a movie!. But you can bet that she had a lot of professional coaching -- and has kept working with coaches!. Acting skill doesn't just happen!. It takes work, and it's that work that gets work!. And agents!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Even with a great deal of natural talent you need to continue with drama!. Extras are often not even actors they are regular people!. I would not consider being an extra as being part of an acting career!. Don't worry about an agent until you have more experience!.

Good Luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well yes you should have acting experience!. Lol
You can't just go out there and have no real talent!.
Just keep doing drama in school!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You don't get an agent to become an actor; you get an agent AFTER you become an actor!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
