Backstage: "If Hamlet had hightailed it from Elsinore to the States in search of thespian glory, he'd be pondering a different question as he mailed yet another armload of headshots and résumés to casting directors: 'To sign with an agent or to hire a manager — or both? That is the question.' "
I find it interesting that entertainment industry folks are up in arms about it being so easy to become / call yourself, a talent manager as the same is true in any industry. Nobody would hire a manager without actually researching the credentials of the person and following their references. If the person is a legit manager, than they get work and if they are bogus, the might eventually move on to become a traveling anvil salesman or something lame.
