Direct Access to Stars
How to use other means besides an agnet or manager to approach star. Research that actor and find out where they go, what they do and who they hang out with. Start low and work your way up.
Agency Packaging
Talent Agencies will sometimes buy off on your project if they can submit a cast package deal. This will involve providing actors only if they can have others actors from their agency work on the same project.
How to get Actors
