What rules or visa details are there regarding American actors pursuing possibilites in England?

Question

I am hoping to relocate to England from Los Angeles in pursuit of television possibilites. I am sure there are loop holes and rules regarding auditions/pay/hiring/contracts...ect. I do not even know if it is possible without being considerably famous. Anyone?..

Answer 2

I'm not an actor myself but I believe you cannot work in the performing arts in the UK unless you're accepted by the UK actor's union, Equity

http://www.equity.org.uk/

so you might want to look into that

also you would need a work visa ... you can get more information on that from your local British Embassy

Answer 3

you'll need a work visa, start by calling your closest UK/English consulate.  Or go ask a travel agent to help they'll know where to send ya, what forms etc.
