Looking for professional actors and performers for discussion with me.

My name is Jeff Caster. I am new to Australia and am having a H@#L of a time finding a friendly and interested ear and mind to discuss the film/television and theatre industries. I am represented in Germany but not here. I am interested in answers to questions both simple and complex. (IE.Do professional actors use 8x10 headshots or can I use the less expensive 13cm x 18 cm heads that I use in Germany. Who must one please in order to interest Aussie agents in representing one? My questions and info needs are legion. I would love to find one or two sympathetic parties to talk with and comiserate with. I invite you to google me if you would like to see my credits. I could reciprocate with info of Euro markets!!! My website is http://jeffcasteractor.homestead.com/ I have contacted a few places and I have a lot of experience teaching method acting ( strasberg,meisner,hagen,stanislavski-lite,mamet et al) If you have a heart and info to share give an email jeffcast@web.de Jeff Caster "What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us." - Ralph Waldo Emerson www.jeffcasteractor.homestead.com

Thank you for your answers. I am actively searching all of your suggestions and advice.I am searching for agents and work. If you have googled me then you know i have done alot of film and theatre work. What I need is to know is the answer to easy starter questions like "Do professional actors use 8x10 headshots or can I use the less expensive 13cm x 18 cm heads that I use in Germany?" Are there directing opportunities for alien directors. Can I network effectively or should I focus on attending auditions? As for my location in Oz I am in Armidale NSW...I know there is no professional work here but I am available to be in Sydney, Brisbane or Melbourne in 8 hours. I hope that won't cause the industry people to write me off out of hand. I would love to collaborate on projects. I direct, dialect coach (U.S. Dialects only),I teach and I am anxious to work I would love to hear about theater companies that welcome new works. I've got a new play to send out. Thank you again for your answers and advice. JC

Thanks friends!
