My agents have me in the Actors' Protection Program. It seems to be working very well. Nobody can find me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I tried for years to get an agent because I was told you needed an agent. The agent-hunting process was grim indeed.
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.
As movies and TV projects come up, they go out to the agents, and we just go out and audition for them.
As an actor sometimes we sit and wait for projects to be handed to us and we don't really work. We expect our agents and managers to know who we are and to see who we are and offer us a part or send us out and submit us.
I don't have an agent - I have the William Morris Agency.
The role of my agent has just been to get me in the room. If I can get in the room - say the character is just a charming man who lives next door - then I'll walk in there and be as charming as I can and they will think to themselves, 'I don't see why we can't cast him.'
No, I don't have an agent. I'm hoping to get one soon.
I didn't have any agent; I've never had an agent.
The reason I haven't got an agent is so that no one can contact me to offer me a film part. In case I'm tempted to do something I'll regret later.
As an actress, you're already disregarded for a lot of the parts by the people who are setting up those shows. You don't need your agent to be doing the same.
