Should I have two different agents? Yes, it is usually a good idea--most models that act in film, TV and theatre are represented by a separate acting agent. Although if you are interested in doing commercials and small roles a good modeling agency can be OK. Depends on the agency (see our partial list of modeling agents). Some agencies have a strong talent division--Ford Models / Ford Talent and some have sister agents Elite / Butler Rustin Bell. So it depends on the specific agency, but generally if you are serious about acting you should have a separate talent agent.
