What situations do beginning actors avoid?

Actor Beware

Unfortunately, there are many scams geared toward vulnerable beginning actors. In larger cities, you're more prone to find scam agencies or management companies that offer representation for a fee. Remember: You should never have to pay for representation. Ever. A good agent or manager earns his/her pay by finding you work and taking a percentage (usually 10%) of your earnings for that project. The only thing that you should be spending is your time on developing your craft. Any agent worth his/her salt will recognize that when s/he sees you.
