What is a good acting agency in California, USA, preferably near San Francisco area?

i live in the US but the show i want to get a part, any part at all, in is called Doctor Who and its in the UK. so is it possible? yes, i know, i don't sound like i really want to be an actress, but i really do but its just Doctor Who that i want to start off with. (foolish? maybe.) the thing im worried about is the international thing. im still in college, but im willing to do what it takes to get a part. and please, no snide comments. thank you.What is a good acting agency in California, USA, preferably near San Francisco area?
As a beginner actor with no agent or indeed any clue as to how agencies operate, you are not going to start off with a show like Doctor. Who or any other network or cable show for that matter. In order to work on a British show filmed in the U.K. you will need to have the proper work visas to work in the U.K. It is very difficult for Americans to get work permits over there and the show would need to show that you are in the top percent of your field (acting) and that they have a specific need for you that can not be filled by anyone else. Once again, as a beginner, you would not be able to show this.



Since you are still in college, you should investigate getting involved with your schools theatre department if they have one.What is a good acting agency in California, USA, preferably near San Francisco area?
Absolutely no chance. The casting director, Andy Pryor, hand picks the cast and who auditions based on what else he has seen them in - he has a dossier of actors he has seen and follows their progress before carefully selecting them to audition.



On top of all this:



1. You are not a professional actor

2. You presumably are not able to work in the UK

3. You live on the other side of the Atlantic and Doctor Who is cast and filmed in Wales



You really have to get a grip on reality with this one.
