Navigating the Maze: Red Flags in the Search for a Child Actor's Agent


Warning sign with pink background

As you step into the world of acting for your child actor, choosing the right Agent is paramount for your child's success. To guide you on this journey, let's explore some red flags that might indicate it's time to reconsider:


1. Any Agent that Offers Classes and/or Headshots

Agents are primarily focused on securing auditions and opportunities for your child. If an Agent is offering classes or headshots, it's a red flag. Any reputable Agent has ZERO time to be teaching acting classes or taking headshots.


2. Requests Money Up Front

A trustworthy Agent earns their commission when your child secures a job. If an Agent requests money upfront, be cautious. Reputable Agents work on a commission basis, aligning their success with that of their clients.


3. Makes Unrealistic Guarantees

While we all dream of Hollywood success, no Agent can guarantee work. Legitimate Agents set realistic expectations, understanding the unpredictable nature of the industry. Be wary of promises that sound too good to be true.


4. High-Pressure Sales Tactics

A good Agent respects your decisions and doesn't rush you into commitments. If you feel pressured to make quick decisions, consider it a red flag. Trustworthy Agents understand the importance of a thoughtful and informed decision-making process.


Remember, your child's journey in the entertainment industry should be guided by professionals who prioritize your child's best interests. Stay vigilant, stay informed, and stay tuned for more insights right here at The Hollywood Prep.

"Jenn Boyce was instrumental in my daughter’s career path as an actress. She discovered Addison at an acting school in New Orleans, LA. Jenn not only became her Agent, but also her biggest cheerleader and our family’s close friend. She is a wealth of knowledge for parents just starting out in the business, as it can be very overwhelming. There is no one I would trust more with my child starting out in the entertainment industry than Jenn Boyce."
