Text The Late Bloomer Actor a Question or Comment.

Episode 7 is all about agents, with my Adelaide agents from Buckland and Gun Management (aka AAA Talent).
We discuss the actor/agent relationship and how to enjoy the journey of acting rather than hoping for fame and fortune alone.
Being Adelaide based, we do focus on the South Australian industry particularly, which was very interesting in the discussions around how SA industry participants are all so open to collaboration in this state, both in the student film sector, independent film sector and professional sectors.
We discuss the journey of AAA Talent from when Nick and Carina bought it, to make it an agency to rival the traditional eastern states agencies that lure away actors from Adelaide.
A big part of Nick and Carina's agency philosophies, is in developing their actors to move from extra roles, to bit parts and then on to lead roles.
We also look at the differences of Australian agencies compared to the US model, that typically involves an agent, a commercial agent, a manager and likely a few other commission receiving entities.
And we finish up with talking about he complexities of an acting career for late bloomer actors who have to juggle their acting whilst still managing mortgages, family and bill paying careers.

The Late Bloomer Actor - Agent Collaboration with Nick Buckland and Carina Gun

Transcript

David John Clark 00:00:02

My guests today are Adelaide based acting agents and, in my biased opinion, two of the finest agents I know. They are the two leads behind AAA Talent, of which I am proud to be represented by, having taken over the agency quite a few years ago, they have endeavoured to keep it a boutique agency, boutique in that they know everyone on their books, so they can be fully immersive in their journey. They're both actors as well, with a love of theatre
