While the actual numbers will never be known, you can rest assured that many child movie and TV stars were discovered by talent agents at one point. Nobody just walks by a producer by accident and gets discovered and hired to shoot movies, do advertising, and all that stuff.
How do you think Hannah Montana or the Jonas Brothers were discovered? Or how about Kevin from “Home Alone”? There are many more and even more ways to be discovered by a talent agent with the right connections. Almost an entire industry has been developed around Hollywood, movies, TV shows, and advertising to feed the demand with new faces.
Keep in mind that being discovered by a talent agent will not mean your baby or child has made it, but it is an important step. Also, while it might be great if you can move to Hollywood so that your child gets into the right places to be discovered, reality shows that you might have a better chance of getting your child discovered by an agent is by going through a Kids Photo Contest like the one that the “CuteKid” website is holding. A small fee of $19.95 is enough to participate – no hidden charges, no gimmicks. If you want to give that a try, I highly recommend to start right away. The monthly drawings are a great chance to a) win a great prize and b) only if you do take that first step your child has the chance to be discovered. Most people will never make that first step, so please make sure you are not one of them. Register now (free), upload pictures (free), and then enter the photo contest ($19.95). Start here.
