Answer 2

They live in LA.  They have agents.  Their agents send them out.  

You are not going to be "discovered."  

Answer 3

The best way is an agent, because he has contacts to the movie business. But it is not easy to find a good agent.

There are also websites, which show audition and casting dates. The two biggest are:

http://www.mandy.com

http://www.us.castingcallpro.com/

Good luck,

Answer 4

Answer 5

Their agents contact them.  If you don't have an agent, read Variety magazine.

Answer 6

Actors aren't "discovered". That is a fairy tale myth. Actors work. Hard.

There's no website, actors in LA have agents that send them out on auditions. It is extremely difficult to get an agent in LA - you have to have a lot of training, experience, by union and really, just be at the right place at the right time. Luck has a lot to do with it.

So, if you want to be an actor, forget about being discovered or looking for agents or trying out for the next big movie. You have to start at the bottom like everyone else. Get into som classes and start auditioning at your local community theatre. If you're good, people will notice and you will advance quickly and get lead roles. THEN you can start thinking about branching out.
