How do you apply for auditions through the TV industies as an actor

Another reason for this perception is what I term the Walk-In Myth. Many times have I heard the tale of the off-the-street who walks into a producers office and says "I want to act" and promptly gets the lead role. I even have a vague but no doubt false memory of this happenening to someone I once new.

It simply doesn't happen like that at all. Sure you may actually manage to get into a producers office and get to say "I want to act" before security take you in a padded wagon to Greylands, but there would have to be a pretty damn good reason for that same producer to turn around and say "Your hired!" without substantial evidence. Producers invest a lot of money into their shows and they will not throw that kind of money around on someone without some ounce of belief in their ability to hold to do their part.

The best you could hope for using the Walk-In approach is a spot of sweeping on-set, but maybe that would be you foot in the door. It worked for Harrison Ford ;-)
