Actor And Agent

Today it was Snejina and Jen talking about that awkward stage when you feel like you're getting nowhere with bookings. Feel familiar?  What to look out for that your agent is doing everything they can.  When to jump ship, how long to commit and do you actually love it enough to do something completely for free. Do you want to be famous or do you want to be an actor. Big difference for both. W...

First ever guest on Actor & Agent and it's the greatest of all beings... The Joshua Young. He's primarily a screenwriter but to us, we've seen him wear many hats.
