After months of media coverage and publicity, the much talked about union of NBA star, Tony Parker and Desperate Housewives actress, Eva Longoria, finally took place twice in beautiful Paris. The 6’2” Parker wed the diminutive Longoria in a civil ceremony last Friday, before their church wedding the following day.

Their civil wedding was held in accordance with French laws and was officiated by Paris Mayor Betrand Delanoe. The ceremony was witnessed by less than 30 family and friends at the city hall.

In stark contrast, over 200 guests were in attendance the following day, when the celebrity couple exchanged vows and ‘I Dos’ at the Eglise Saint-Germain l’Auxerrois Church across the famed Louvre Museum.

Among the guests were superstar crooner, Sheyl Crow, Fantastic Four star, Jessica Alba, American Idol’s Ryan Seacrest and Parker’s San Antonio Spurs coach, Greg Popovich. As expected, Eva Longoria’s Desperate Housewives cast mates were also there to watch their fellow ‘housewife’ walk down the aisle. Teri Hatcher came with her nine-year old daughter, Felicity Huffman arrived with actor hubby, William H. Macy and Nicolette Sheridan attended alone while Marcia Cross was understandably absent in light of the recent birth of her twins.

After the Roman Catholic nuptials, guests traveled 40 miles to the Vaux-le-Vicomte castle in Maincy for the reception. The 17th century chateau, located 35 miles southeast of Paris, provided a stunning venue with its marble-floored ballroom, chandelier-studded dining room and 70 acres of precisely pruned and meticulously manicured gardens, all basking in the glow of 4,000 candles. The lavish celebration cost more than half a million and was complete with music, dancing and fireworks well into midnight.

The marriage is Eva Longoria’s second, after her two-year union with General Hospital actor, Tyler Christopher, ended in divorce in 2004. She will soon rejoin the rest of the Desperate Housewives ensemble when they begin filming the fourth season due to begin in September.

If you want to be a successful actor, or want your children in the business, this is a team member you must know and understand.

There are agents, and then there are AGENTS!

You can’t lump together high powered agents such as Creative Artists Agency (CAA), William Morris Agency (WMA), International Creative Management (ICM), Don Buchwald and Associates, and The Gersh Agency with the struggling one person outfits that are out there.

Most deals at the higher levels are negotiated by agents.

One key difference between agents and almost all other players, except for lawyers, is that they are regulated by state law.

Big Agencies vs. Small Agencies

The big three – CAA, William Morris, and ICM. These companies have at least 50 agents each working for them. There are a few mid-level agencies that are respected (mostly made up of big agency veterans). They are the focal point of power brokering in Hollywood and New York. The same is true for the rest of the world for that matter.

High powered agents represent their clients in all aspects of Motion Picture and Television, including commercials, print, and live appearances. This is what is known as ‘Across the board representation’. Fees for this service are regulated by the Unions. An agent receives no more than 10% of each talent deal.

Smaller agencies will specialize in their areas. In the beginning of their careers, many actors will have different agents for different fields. They will have a Theatrical Agent (Motion Pictures and Television), a Commercial Agent (Commercials only), Voice-Over Agent, Live Appearance Agent (singers, comedians, etc.).

What do Agents do?

An agent does not work for the actor. An agent works for the casting director and the production company.

What!?

An agent provides actors to the casting director when the need arises. An agent’s first loyalty is to his customer (the casting director or production company). That’s who keeps him/her in business.

An agent will look an actor in the eye and say, “I’ll work very hard for you!” What he/she really means is that they think you might be successful in auditions and that the agency would like to include you as another product available to their customer.

An agent will try and negotiate the best possible price for you because that price directly influences their commission. They will also look for the small details that an actor doesn’t think about, such as billing and screen credit, trailer, transportation, etc.

Producers and casting directors are also more confident in hiring an actor with agency representation than someone without.

Just like you are more comfortable buying jewelry from a reputable jewelry store and not off of someone on the street. Again, common sense tells you that an actor with representation is more professional.

Having an agent will enhance your credibility as a professional.

The top agents in the top agencies are some of the MAJOR players in the business. Their calls get answered. Their demands get met. They are just as important in the process as ANY person in Hollywood. Their power is based on the desirability of their clients.

In addition to doing deals on an individual basis, agents ‘package’ their clients so that a studio is forced to take a number of their clients for a particular project.

For example, if a studio wants a particular actor for a television series, they will also have to take a producer and team of writers handled by the same agent.

Why are agents such an important part of the business?

Fundamentally, most creative talent are not necessarily business people. The studio is much more comfortable doing business with an agent because they want business done efficiently and with as little ego damage as possible to the creative talent.

No studio executive wants to tell an actor that he/she is only worth X amount of dollars and that there is no way that they will get above the title billing. They leave those tasks to the better equipped agent.

A good agent knows what the market will bear and can generally get his/her client most of what the studio will give.

Do Agents get their clients work?

Only the most powerful agents can make suggestions to the studios. A good agent will submit a client and have the clout to get them a meeting or audition.

Most agents have to go the typical way of submitting to casting directors and hoping for a call back.

Most people get their own work. This is true especially in the beginning of their careers.

Remember the agent gets 10% of your paycheck. Count on them to only do 10% of the work. You are responsible for the other 90%.

Almost everyone needs an agent to play the game. It still stands that studios will not deal directly with the talent. They want the buffer.

In Los Angeles and New York (and a few more places) agents are exclusive. Meaning you can only have one agent represent you in each field. You may have one agent for theatrical (film and television), one agent for commercials, and one agent for personal appearances. Or, if offered, you may choose to have the same agent represent you across the board.

In Florida, and many other right to work states, you may be listed with as many agents as you want as long as they will have you.

There is a problem with listing with all of the agents in a right to work state. You may get called by all of them for the same audition. You must then decide which one you will list as your representative. This is a no-win situation. It will make some of them mad and they will not submit you the next time.

Just like in Hollywood and New York, you must learn to choose an agent. Getting them to effectively represent you is a fine art that must be learned.

Getting your first Agent.

If you are new to LA, or anywhere for that matter, you might find yourself having what is called a “Golden Period” where everyone will want to get a look at you. You are the new kid in town. You can use this to your advantage.

This is especially true if you are young. Not necessarily your age, but how young you look.

Some of you will have agents and managers competing with each other to sign you. Don’t be fooled. This novelty wears off fast.

Make it your plan to work hard at establishing your career. Think long term.

The best way to find your agent is by word of mouth. This is where your networking skills come into play. Everyone you meet is a resource. Always ask, “Do you know any good agents?” Keep a list.

One of the keys to ANY business is the quantity and quality of contacts that you make.

Effective networking means remembering people’s names. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. People are impressed and flattered when their name is remembered.

Courting an Agent

Don’t try the endless silly schemes some actors invent to get an agents attention. Handing out toilet seat covers with your picture embossed on it, scratch and sniff headshots, jigsaw puzzles that make up your resume, are only good for encouraging agents to treat you like you are treating yourself, like a joke.

What you must do to attract an agent is what people in all businesses do, send out calling cards. In this case, your calling card is your headshot and resume.

Make calls.

Set up appointments.

Get friends to make referrals.

Follow up.

Become involved in clubs and organizations relating to your field.

Continue to develop your skills to become more and more qualified.

Always keep in mind that luck happens when preparation meets opportunity. Be prepared or opportunity will pass you by.

If any agent tries to charge you a fee of any kind to sign with them, RUN, don’t walk away. Many scam artists are out there. This is a sure fire way of spotting a crook. A legitimate agent will only charge you their deserved commission when and after they have gotten you work.

Getting Agents to work for you

Here is where the real work begins. Many actors think that once they sign with an agent, they can sit back and wait for the phone to ring.

Since agents make their money from commissions, they will concentrate on clients who are already working.

Makes sense doesn’t it? Go with what works and you can count on your income. An agent who has clients who consistently land jobs from auditions is going to concentrate on those clients. New people are going to have to prove themselves to get the agents attention.

Sure they may have signed you because they believe you will get work, but you are going to have to prove yourself to them.

Things an Agent will want to know

Are you continuing to develop your craft?

Are you doing plays or student films?

Are you enrolled in acting classes?

Are you keeping up on what’s being produced?

Are you reading the Trade Papers?

Are you preparing fully for auditions?

Are you systematically expanding your network?

The truth of the matter is that most of the work you get will be due to your own efforts. This impresses an agent!

Make sure you communicate your efforts to your agent. Birthday cards and Christmas cards are warm and fuzzy, but you will fire up the agent’s enthusiasm when he/she receives the flyer about the play you are in, or a note about the casting director you met.

If you take charge of your career, communicate your efforts to your agent, and enlist your agent in a team effort, you stand a good chance of getting him/her to take an active roll on your behalf.

Teen musician, actress and youth ambassador Alexandra Rose Rieger joins Dakota Fanning, Kyle and Chris Massey and other award-winning celebrities for the

The evening’s theme, “Come Be a Kid Again,” brings us back to the place of joy and wonderment that is childhood.

Many award-winning celebrities, musicians and actors attended the First Star Celebration for Children’s Rights event such as: Actress and Youth Ambassador and Teen Musician Alexandra Rose Rieger “Akeelah and the Bee,”, Dakota Fanning “Dr. Seuss’ Cat in the Hat,” Kyle and Chris Massey “Corey in the House and “Zoey 101,” The evening’s theme, “Come Be a Kid Again,” brings us back to the place of joy and wonderment that is childhood.

Christine Devine, anchor of the No. 1-ranked Fox 11 Ten O’clock News, hosted the event. Devine is an eight-time Emmy winner, including for Best Newscast for the last three years, and has profiled foster children seeking adoptive homes on her “Wednesday’s Child” segment.
Established in 1999, First Star is dedicated to strengthening the rights and improving the lives of America’s abused and neglected children through education, public policy, legislative reform and litigation. Its nonpartisan, multidisciplinary approach fosters collaborative action among organizations, advocates, practitioners and policy makers working to benefit children.
“If abused and neglected children had money or voted, there would be grownups constantly putting their interests in first position on our nation’s agenda,” states Peter Samuelson, President and Co-Founder of First Star. “While they may be poor, can’t vote, and the horrors done to them are mostly shrouded in secrecy, several million of these children each year are entitled to be helped. First Star puts them in first position.”
First Star recently launched two groundbreaking advocacy movements nationwide following the presentations of findings in Congress: “State Secrecy and Child Deaths in the U.S.” and “First Star National Report Card on Legal Representation for Children.” The goal of both reports is to serve as an objective, performance-evaluating tool in which all 50 states and the District of Columbia received A through F letter grades based on statutes, court rules and practice and to raise national public awareness of these alarming issues and ignite legislative reform efforts in poorly performing states.

Alexandra Rose Rieger is a wonderful supporter of First Star. She clearly uses her gifts and talents to help others. Whether meeting Alexandra in person, hearing her music or reading one of her books, so many have been inspired by her.

Callies’ co-stars for the film include Lost’s Josh Hollway, Psych’s Dule Hill, and Australian actor Joel Edgerton, who previously appeared in Smokin’ Aces and Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith. The cast also includes child actor Blake Woodruff, who previously starred in the Cheaper by the Dozen films. Whisper is made by the same producers of the 2005 thriller, White Noise.

Whisper features Josh Holloway playing Max Truemont, a convicted felon hired to kidnap the son of a wealthy woman in England , despite him and his fiancé, Roxanne, played by Sarah Wayne Callies, wanting to star over with their lives. The two then decide to team up for the kidnapping, after they find that it was impossible to get a bank loan with a felon on the application. David, the son of the wealthy woman, was then kidnapped and taken to a remote hideout. There, the conspirators and kidnappers began to get into a huge conflict, making Max realize that there’s more to David that what meets the eye. Apparently, he wasn’t so innocent as he seemed.
