Do not believe hyped stories like that!. It took Shia a lot more professionalism and work to get where he is today than opening a yellow page book!. People often forget or just plain overlook the humble beginnings of most successful actors!.

Finding an agent is not your first hurtle anyway!. Honing your craft as an actor is your first hurtle!. Agents want to represent talent that they feel has the best chance of booking paid acting jobs that will pay them their 10% commission!. It takes a lot of years and perseverance and pavement pounding to build you career!. It will also require the support of your parents if you are a minor and if you are an adult it will require that you eventually move to a major entertainment hub like NYC or Los Angeles!.

So start off by involving yourself in your schools drama dept or your local community theater!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
