Monitor Backstage and Actors Access to see if there's a casting call for your body type. Keep an eye out for movies/shows that might need tall athletic guys. For example, if HBO's Ballers is looking for some special background players for an NFL team. You'll have to ask yourself if you are willing to pay for your own travel though, as you'll most likely not be traveled in at this early stage of your career.

you sound specialized. as a former former power lifter I'm rooting for you.

thanks

Welcome to Stage 32, Michael. :)

A particularly well-articulated point: "An agent can't change who you are. If you can't talk/charm/impress your way into a casting room, then how do you think an agent is going to? They can't and certainly won't try to change the facts. They can't fabricate credits, relationships, skills they don't already know about... It's up to an actor to create some kind of story for an agent to tell."

good point.

Hits the nail right on the head

The plain truth. So very few can handle it.

Very logical !
