Is it worth having a showreel made from scratch if you haven't done screen work yet?

Hello All :) I'm interested to hear from casting directors how important it is to have a showreel. I've been told that without a showreel a casting director won't even consider looking at an actor's resume. So, if an actor hasn't done much (or even any) screen work that he can make into a showreel, is it worth having a showreel shot from scratch (by professionals), or could that do more harm than good?

There are always plenty of student productions to be involved in to get your showreel together. You won't get paid, but you will get a showreel. www.meltheco.org.au
