Child Actors, Parents and Friends - Welcome to KidsInTheBiz.com! This web site was started in 2004, and with the suggestions and encouragement of its readers has grown from a simple web site promoting a single book, to an information web site that caters to questions that all young actors and child performers - as well as their parents - continue to express. If your child is looking to start an acting career in "The Biz," Show Business, then this web site will help you and your budding performer know what to expect in the months and years to come, as well as help you connect with other parents who are going through the same thing. As Paul Petersen, founder of A Minor Consideration said, parents "must never stop the process of learning about the business their child finds so appealing." Education is the key to avoiding acting scams and wasting thousands of dollars on photographs and actng classes that do little to promote your child's acting career. The web site is also a companion site for my book, Kids in the Biz: A Hollywood Handbook for Parents, where I give detailed insight on how to get your child started as an actor or actress no matter where you live. Getting the best acting jobs is difficult if you don't have the right tools, and are not prepared and informed. Kids in the Biz is like having your own personal manager with you to help your child get started in their new acting career. I have worked with some of the biggest young performers in recent years including Kevin Zegers, Mason Gamble, Wil Horneff, Ryan Merriman, Dylan Patton, Eric Lloyd, Andrew Ducote, Erica Mer, Kay Panabaker, The Moffatts, and many others too numerous to list here. Books and articles written by former-child actors are oftentimes severely outdated and not like how it is today! In today's world of the Internet, it is important to have as much information as you can to protect your child from online predators while promoting their career. We hope you will find KidsInTheBiz.com a valuable source of information on the inner workings of child actors and the entertainmnet industry, and gives you a real perspective on what it takes for a young performer to succeed - both financially and emotionally - in this business.
