How to Build an Acting Career with Talent Agent Anthony Boyer
What happens to your acting career when the auditions slow down? Is your whole vision for your acting career contingent on your reps? Oof. Been there...think I might still be there if we're being honest. In this Re-Think, I revisit my conversation with theatrical agent Anthony Boyer after I listened to a talk with a showrunner where they said they work harder than their reps, and gets most of their jobs themselves. And it made me think, am I working harder than my team. Do you think you are? You say you're the boss of your acting career. Well, let's go down this road together. -------- Want more auditions—and a better shot at booking them?
