Hello. I am looking for a acting agent who doesn't need Spotlight.https://m.imdb.com/name/nm7030140/. I have tried asking on Facebook but everyone on their are so up themselves and always trying to put me down. Can anyone suggest anyone who doesn't require Spotlight??
Thank you
Cheryl
as an actor you must be in spotlight , all casting agents , directors, producers use it and any agent who take you on without you beening spotlight to me would sound dodgy , and I am telling you this to help you , if you not in spotlight then forget about beening an actor,
ok I was to hard by saying forget acting but the fact are to get pro work you have to be on spotlight and sure to get on there you have to do low no budget work to increase your acting CV ,but if you read what was asked acquiring and agent you do need to be on spotlight and if an agent takes you on without you being on spotlight I still look at as dodgy

Where and how does an actor get on spotlight?

There are agents listed in the actors and performers yearbook. https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/actors-and-performers-yearbook-2018-9781350030206/
Also note the part on production companies. You don't need an agent to be an actor. Agents do not generally get you work, they generally negotiate your salary. You can sometimes contact production companies directly (production companies listed in the yearbook, and on "the knowledge", will often give a rules for applying for work on their website, or in the yearbook.) However, you want to make sure the production company is above board.
When we hired actors for our microbudget film, we didn't use spotlight. One of our cast members got an agent afterwards. Good luck.
