Question about calling an agent...

Just wanted to know if it’s OK to call a talent agency to see if an actor is still a client of theirs before you send out a request of it this is not allowed, or unprofessional. Just wondering because I am thinking about sending to some actors who have no feedback so I was just going to call and confirm before I sent out. Is this ok or frowned upon? Anyone done this before?

Hi bennyb98! ;-)

Sure, you can call an agent to find that out but isn't it much more conveniant to search the web or better, go to the agency's official website? {thumb2} I normally go to the official website of agencies to find that out, most agencies have a section where you can view their clients. {up} It's up-to-date and it even gives you the specific agent's name so you can e-mail them too.

Good luck bennyb98! :mrgreen:

Lizanne

When someones had no feedback and it's been about a month or two, sometimes I email the person/webmaster via their personal websites and just ask "Does ___________ answer mail when sent to ______________? Thanks!"

I called an agent today actually.
I noticed there has been any success coming from JOHNNY WRIGHTs office
So all the CD inserts I sent to him agency, well, i guess I wont get them back.
Dont waste your time sending or writing to Johnny Wrights in Orlando, FL.

Some of the artists he represents include:

Janet Jackson, Jonas Brothers, Stevie Brock, Jordan Knight and many others
