Ross ReportsSo you want to contact some agents or casting directors in your town? Maybe you want to see what films are in development or being shot near you. Perhaps you want to break into television or soaps and are looking to submit your headshot and resume directly to the studios. With Ross Reports you can do it all.

Want to join the cast of Grey's Anatomy, Lost, Prison Break or The Wire? Perhaps your dreams are more along the lines of seeing yourself on The Hills, American Idol, The Office or Two and a half Men. Still not quite it?! Submit directly to reality shows like Rock of Love, Big Brother, Survivor or The Apprentice.

Ross Reports is a small, yet jam-packed monthly publication from the same people who publish Back Stage newspaper. Broken down by state, each section provides an updated listing of union-franchised agents and casting directors, with complete contact information from address and phone numbers to contact names and departments.
