Considering how often we at Zalebs get asked about artist management, particularly for actors, we figured it was only right to compile a list of the country’s most reputable talent agencies for all you aspiring actors and actresses. 

We also figured it was a great follow up to our article on how to work for Ferguson Films.

"People need to pester their agents because the bottom line is that we send out briefs to agents, we don't have one on one contact with actors,” explained Connie Ferguson.
