James LaRosa on How I Got My Agent
I just moved to L.A., spec scripts in hand, and knowing not a soul immediately started sending query letters to only the top agents in town. I would read that they represented Chris Carter or Lydia Woodward and think, sounds good to me.
Of course, I had no credits and thus no chance in hell. But an assistant who read me "responded to my material." When he was promoted to agent he brought me on board.
James LaRosa wrote EVERYBODY’S DOING IT and THE REAL WORLD: THE LOST SEASON for MTV Movies. He also wrote for the TV series "Spyder Games" and "DC."
