Question
Hi, Kenneth,
I am asking if you can look at my website and maybe recomend me to some production companies such as Disney Channel. My website is KatieBucklein.StarSearchCasting.com Please go there and will you please tell Disney Channel or some production company to look at my webstie?
Thanks,
Katie Bucklein

Answer
Hi Katie.  The answer is NO. First of all, I do not have those connections.  Second, no one can rate your talent from a bad photograph (busy background, poorly dressed).  Third via a website is not how you are going to get into acting. I hope you did not pay anything for this website, because it would be a waste of money.  Katie, what you have to do to be a teen actor is to have your parents work very hard to get you experience, training and someday an agent; because that is how it is done, and the only way it can be done until you are 18.  Best wishes, Doc
