If you’ve ever followed the work of theater directors, you may notice that they often work with many of the same actors repeatedly. Whether you’re an actor, dancer, singer or model, it’s important to remember that cultivating relationships with decision makers in the entertainment industry is paramount to career longevity. If a successful director takes a liking to you, that could mean steady work for you for years to come.

Labor Laws For Child And Teen Actors

mrjpcool — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 06:21:00 -0500

If youâre the parent of a child or teen actor who has begun working on projects in the industry without the guidance of a talent agent or manager, itâs critical that you familiarize yourself with the child labor laws and regulations in your state. Not only is it important because itâs the law, but these regulations are put in place for the benefit of the child or teen and are great guidelines to follow. States can regulate many aspects of a production when it comes to kids and teens working in the entertainment industry. Before your child walks on set, make sure you find out the answers to the following questions: Whatâs the maximum number of hours my child can work on set? Are the hours different for school and non-school days? How much light can/will my infant be exposed to? Is my child required to have a work permit? Is a studio teacher required to be on set? How much time does my child get for rest and recreation? Are there any exceptions? There are always gray areas, loopholes and exceptions. For example, many regulations are determined based on the age of the actor. However while a seventeen year old student in California may only be allowed to work between certain hours, a seventeen year old who has graduated from high school is not subject to child labor laws and can work as an adult. Whether your child has a manager or not, you are your childâs primary advocate. A production set can be a harried, hectic environment and if a director is running behind schedule he may not want your child to get their mandated break time. Itâs up to you to put your foot down to make sure that your child has a healthy, balanced and enjoyable experience in the industry.
