What should I look for in an acting agent?

Acting Agents and Your Career

An effective acting agent should have a clear idea of what roles you are looking for. In order to develop this rapport, you need to help him/her get a better understanding of who you are. Ask the agent how s/he sees your career right now and where it could head, realistically. Find out what the agent expects you to do. S/he usually won't have a pat answer, but this will help to start a conversation that will allow you to figure out the boundaries of your relationship.

Are these questions appropriate for an agent I am already working for? Also, what are the ways I can have a better relationship with my agent after they have taken me on? How do I impress them?
