Question
I am not sure if you can help.  I have a 3 1/2 year old nephew who I think could be a baby model/actor. (My sister has no idea I am inquiring about this.)  The problem is he lives in Indiana.  I know so many kids get into the business because they have parents in the business or they live in LA.   I just want to know if there is anything I can do from IN.

Answer
Hi Sarah, Well, me neither, but there are agents in cities around IN, Chicago and Lexington for example.  I know of another child in IN who is seeking representation in Lexington, which is close enough to their home where they can drive to auditions and jobs.  Same will hold true for this tyke, have to be close enough to the agency to go to auditions and jobs.  Good luck, Doc
