Interview With Michael Edgar,
Young Model / Actor (added March 16, 2004)

[Wendy at Dreamish.com] While taking my son to acting classes, I met a 7 year old model / actor, named Michael Edgar, and his father. During the last couple of months, I've had conversations with Tom Edgar, Michael's father. I found that Michael has been modeling and acting for quite a while. Tom is Michael's manager, and Michael has an agent named Camera Ready Kids.

I wanted to run an interview with them to share with you...



[Wendy at Dreamish.com] Michael, How old were you when you started modeling, and how did you get started?

[Michael Edgar] I was three years old. It was my dad's idea. I just went along.



[Wendy at Dreamish.com] What was your first modeling job? Did you feel nervous? Did you have fun?

[Michael Edgar] I did a job in New Jersey for an energy commission. No! I am never nervous. Yes; because I got to play with toys.



[Wendy at Dreamish.com] When did you start with acting? Why did you decide to try acting?

[Michael Edgar] When I was five years old. My father and manager ask me to do it.



[Wendy at Dreamish.com] What was your first acting experience or job?

[Michael Edgar] I had a small part in the play Aladdin.



[Wendy at Dreamish.com] What do your friends think about you modeling and acting?

[Michael Edgar] They don't always believe me until I show them the newspapers or magazines. My teachers and family think it is great.



[Wendy at Dreamish.com] Who would you like to work with in the future?

[Michael Edgar] I would like to be in a singing group. I love to sing and dance.



[Wendy at Dreamish.com] What are your other dreams?

[Michael Edgar] I would like to design roller coasters. I also want to be a twister tracker and work with weather.



Questions for Tom Edgar (Michael Edgar's Father)...

[Wendy at Dreamish.com] Tom, How did the idea come about to get Michael into modeling?

[Tom Edgar] A newspaper photographer told my wife and I that Michael had very nice eyes.



[Wendy at Dreamish.com] What steps did you take to get Michael into modeling? When did you find you needed an agent?

[Tom Edgar] I knew from a relative that was modeling at the time. She said that we had to have legitimate representation. This is the only way to get real jobs.

[Wendy at Dreamish.com] What made you decide to get Michael into acting?

[Tom Edgar] Acting and Modeling go hand in hand. Mikey's agency "Camera Ready Kids" expects the kids to be ready to do what ever the medium calls for.




[Wendy at Dreamish.com] What key things have you learned along the way?

[Tom Edgar] This business takes a lot of commitment and time. You always have to be ready on a moments notice to attend an audition or job.




[Wendy at Dreamish.com] What does it take to be Michael's manager? Do you have to approve everything through Michael's agent?

[Tom Edgar] While most of Mike's work comes through the agency; they encourage us to do things on our own. They realize the more exposure he gets only increases his value as an actor/model. With each job he does he gets a little better.




[Wendy at Dreamish.com] You get calls about jobs for Michael during school hours sometimes. Is the school accommodating to Michael's work schedule?

[Tom Edgar] Most of the teachers and staff know about Michael. At this time he really does not miss a lot of school. He has had to leave early occasionally and makes up the missed work. However, if he were to land a big job or contract he would be tutored on the job.




[Wendy at Dreamish.com] What experience has Michael had up to this point in time?

[Tom Edgar] Michael has been seen in several television commercials in the Washington DC area. He has appeared in advertising for National Geographic and recently posed for a National Hair Style magazine. Last summer he was busy filming a pilot for a children's television show. His biggest National Spot was doing a Voice Over for an animated children's character for HBO Family. In addition, Mikey has performed in several local Stage productions, such as Hello Dolly and Tom Sawyer.




[Wendy at Dreamish.com] What type of work would you like to see Michael get in the future?

[Tom Edgar] I of course, would like to see Mike break out of the local market, and do more things on the National level. Movies, and Television are always sought after. For now, we are grateful for the chances he gets and will keep working with him as he grow.




[Wendy at Dreamish.com] What steps do you plan to take next?

[Tom Edgar] My wife and I continue to invest in training for him. He is always taking theater, voice, and has had some dance. In addition, we are constantly on the look out for any opportunities that might afford him a chance to perform.
