Question
We have been blessed with a very beautiful son that everyone tells us should be a model or in television.  People that we don't know come up to us and tell us what a beautiful boy he is.  He was 4 y/o in May and we are wanting to get him into modeling and maybe even further if he shows an interest.  What steps do we need to take?  Should we try to enroll him in some type of acting school?

Answer
Hello. Congratulations. Well, be very careful, there are a lot of scams out there. I would look for a Talent Agent in your area that handles children and submit him for representation.  When you interview, if it goes that far, you can ask about training.  Contact me back here when you find an agency you might want to try and I will try to verify their legitimacy. Best wishes, Doc
