The founders of succeed in showbiz.com  are extremely qualified and knowledgeable, with over 30 years of cumulative experience in the field  of entertainment.  Members of our board regularly lecture and educate on “The Business of Entertainment” at prestigious universities such as UCLA. We have counseled and shared our expertise with famous athletes, actors, writers, directors, recording artists and entertainment executives.  We also have first hand experience as movie producers and screen writers. Our clients’ films have grossed billions of dollars at the box office and we have been involved in the development and casting of numerous television series and movies.

If show business is the career that you desire, then we can properly advise you on the best way to begin that journey.  Someone has to have the job of famous movie or television actor.  Someone has to run each network.  Someone has to win an Academy Award*  Why shouldn’t it be you?

This web page is designed as an informational resource for individuals interested in having a career in movies and television, whether it is in front of the camera or behind the scenes.  For our non members we will answer some of the most frequently asked questions.  For our members, we will go into greater detail and provide the resources (names, addresses and phone numbers) of people that will serve a particular need in the field of entertainment.

Remember show business is a business.  Therefore, treat it as such.  Be on time and be professional.  Most people in this business don’t have a lot of patience.  Also, don’t take the outcomes of situations personally.  Bitterness and lack of confidence will decrease your chances for success. There is usually a monetary reason behind each decision that is made in casting or job hires.

There are however tricks to the trade that put some people in better positions for roles and job opportunities.  Knowing the right people, staying current as to trends in the industry, capturing your look with the right photo, and also obtaining the representation that is right for you are all keys to success.  For example, having the biggest agent at the biggest agency may not work for you.  If the best agent in town is too busy to push your career, then it is not going to lead to a successful outcome for you.   

At this site, we have provided some basic do’s and don’ts for you to follow.  However, if you would like more information about how to find photographers, talent agencies, talent managers, casting directors, attorneys, publicists, and/or industry executives, we  can also provide you with that information when you join our site as a member.  Members will receive current information on the players in show business and from time to time we will also notify our members about projects that are casting and job opportunities that have become available in related fields.
