The Hollywood Group announces opportunity for young actors to showcase their talents

Hundreds of aspiring young actors between the ages of 5 and 17 years will have a chance to showcase their talents for several of Entertainment Industry’s top agents, managers and casting directors on Saturday, May 3rd, 2008. This showcase, offered by the Hollywood Group, is a unique way for these children to meet as many industry professionals as possible in a single day. Many of the auditioning children and teenagers have had extensive experience working as background talent, and they are eager to get to the next step. Not only does attending this event afford the young actors a chance to gain exposure within the Industry, it could also land them professional representation for speaking roles in major film, television, and commercial productions.

The showcase offered by the Hollywood Group on May 3rd will include the VIP panel of: Ninna Sexsmith from Daniel Hoff Agency, Irma Villalvazo from Jaime Ferrar Agency, Indra Clark from Clear Talent Group, Donna Micheline from Aimee Entertainment, Gabrielle Ilg from Bobby Ball Agency and, manager Addison Witt from Witt Management. Their clients are some of Hollywood’s most talented young stars. The showcase is an opportunity for the agents, managers and casting directors to add more talent to their already prestigious roster.

Only a few months ago, many of these children and teenagers would have been unprepared for a venue like this talent showcase. Talent is a practiced skill, however, and these kids have received valuable tools as part of their involvement with the Hollywood Group. The Hollywood Group’s program is geared towards auditioning opportunities, such as this showcase, and booking acting jobs. It provides one the opportunity to build a portfolio of experience. Many of the Hollywood Group’s members have appeared in feature films, television series and national commercials. Some of their most recent work has included “Bedtime Stories” starring: Adam Sandler, Keri Russell, Guy Pearce, Courtney Cox; “Mirrors” starring: Kiefer Sutherland; “My Sister’s Keeper” starring: Cameron Diaz, Joan Cusack; “Seven Pounds” starring: Will Smith, Woody Harrelson, Rosario Dawson; “The Soloist” starring: Robert Downey Jr., Jamie Foxx, Catherine Keener and TV Shows like: According To Jim, Cold Case, Criminal Minds, CSI, Drake and Josh, ER, Ghost Whisperer, Hannah Montana, How I Met Your Mother, Mad TV, My Name is Earl, The New Adventures of Old Christine, and Without a Trace.

The Talent Showcase on May 3rd, 2008 will be hosted by ScoutServe, located at 2050 S. Bundy Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90025 from 10:30am to 12pm, and is open to the media.
