I never had trouble getting an agent. I went out and got my first couple roles, and literally within six months I never had to have another job other than acting.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
While I was in high school, I started working professionally and got an agent.
My father is an actor, so he brought me into his agency when I was young. It wasn't something I wanted to do until high school, when I started taking theater and really liked it. Then an agent found me and wanted me to come out to Los Angeles and give it a shot. I gave myself six months, but it only took me like a week to get a job.
It's funny: I've been very successful and done a lot of films, and I don't really have an agent - I don't really pursue jobs, I let people come to me.
I mean, I've always had scattered interests, but I never went on stage to get an agent or anything like that.
Unfortunately, I ended up kind of getting sadly duped, in a way. I haven't had an agent in 10 years, and now I'm doing some of the most interesting films I've ever had an opportunity to play in.
My dad was a theater actor, so he had an agent, and he brought me into his agency when I was maybe four years old. That was how I started. I started modeling, and it progressed from there.
I didn't have any agent; I've never had an agent.
I tried for years to get an agent because I was told you needed an agent. The agent-hunting process was grim indeed.
I had been struggling to get roles in Hollywood for three and a half years after leaving the WWE. Then I finally got an agent - the agent I have now. He's a great guy, but he turned me down three times before he even decided to take me on a as a client.
I'll admit that it's not easy to get an agent, but becoming successful in anything requires perseverance.
