-- Where can I find an agent?
-- What is my role as a parent
while I'm on set?
-- Are acting classes worth it?
Parents are always being told to lead by example, which is why
ChildrenInFilm.com is providing access to the day in the life of a showbiz
family -- an excellent example to follow.
Meet the Sprayberrys:
Originally from Houston, Texas, the Sprayberrys moved to Los Angeles to
help their children, Dylan and Ellery, pursue careers in acting. Two years
later they are truly seeing their hard work and efforts pay off and they've
learned a lot along the way.
Carl Sprayberry is eager to share his stories with other families so that
they too can decide if a career in Show Biz is really for them.
"This is a very serious business. As a parent in the industry, I know how
confusing things can be when you're just getting started. I'm hoping that
this blog will be a true-to-reality way to help parents learn from our
experiences." ~ Carl Sprayberry
