Question

How far away should you live from an acting agent?

Answer 1

not more than ten miles

Answer 2

Ideally you want to be no more then 30 minutes away from the jobs your agent would be sending you out on. Unless you are already a well known name an agent wouldn't sign you unless you were in the same town. Agents will often get breakdowns the night before the casting and they need to know their actors will not miss the call once they submit them.
