"Kevin E. West is the consummate professional. He is one of the most ethical, intelligent, talented, pro-active, pro-actor people I've ever known. Kevin's extensive experiences, passion and ability to communicate make him the best person I know to assist actors. Hollywood is a business that has a lot of unspoken and ever-changing rules lead to a lot of mistakes which cost actors time, money and emotional strength. To have someone like Kevin on your side to help you get through Los Angeles without having to make all of the same mistakes... is invaluable."

LINK Talent opened its doors on June 1, 2004, and while Paulo Andrés is the VP of The Actorsà Network, he co-owns this separate management company. Paulo started as an actor in Hollywood while helping to build The Actors' Network. That experience inspired and prepared him for his current role as co-owner and manager for Link Talent.
The Actor's Way, BackStage West, June 1998"...not just an acting school...just a self-started network of business minded working actors sharing trade publications and resources, job leads, helpful tips and warnings, and moral support. Amazingly, instead of being laughed out of Hollywood by the cynics who pervade the city, The Actors' Network is thriving."
Judy Kerr, Accomplished acting coach, actress and director, brings over 25 years of experience to this 11th Gold Edition of Acting Is Everything. With this, Judy opens the doors of Hollywood to a new generation of acting hopefuls and professionals with a straightforward road map for building their careers.

Written By Judy Kerr:
- This is the organization for actors who are really serious about getting work in this industry. I tell all of my students to join. This is the best show biz bargain.
- Kevin E. West and Paulo AndrÈs have built an amazing company and a true acting community in our spread-out, industry-driven town. This is not an acting school, it is a group of information-sharing, working actors focused on the business side of their careers. They share trade publications, expertise, resources, tips, scams they've run across and supportive encouragement.
- I tell my actors to participate fully. If you aren't really ready to advance in your career, to jump in with both feet then wait to join. If you are ready to take action then hurry and join. Search their website for all the membership benefits.
- The Network invites unpaid industry guests, including casting directors, agents, producers and acting coaches, to come in each month for Q & A sessions. They have no problem filling these spots with top people, proof of how respected they are in the industry.

Answer: To give myself a clear advantage by supplementing my career knowledge and opportunities!
Philosophy: Stop being hoodwinked into spending money on sites that offer fictitious casting listings, as well as offering photos/demo video options that will never be seen or any fruition gained by legitimate people.
Here are some things to consider...
- Our information is created from years and years of experience and expertise. See About Us.
- Since 1991 we have developed hundreds of relationships that benefit our databases unlike many periodicals.
- If you're preparing now, or even a few years from now, to move into the Los Angeles market you can begin the process to easily and accurately learn more about the scope and names of the legitimate aspect of Hollywood.
- Information is one thing, but how it is presented, disseminated and used is an entirely different conversation. The Actors' Network has spent 15+ years pioneering the intelligence of meeting actor business needs.
- With every passing month we gain more industry friends, strengthen our existing relationships and have more members who gather and give key information.
- We are an organization who believes in the pursuit and professionalism of actors, and not just dreaming one day of winning a "lottery ticket" mentality.
- With our VP (Paulo Andrés) moving into personal management in 2002, we have an additional level of expertise, insight and inside information available to our database.
- The sheer tangible success of our members and alumni prove the value of our information and how we offer it.
- With online membership so inexpensive, it allows you to compare us to other sites, in terms of accuracy and focus as you'll begin to learn that there are a lots of web-only sites that are just full of useless information.
- The more names you know, the more history you know and the more clear you are on how the system really works, in any industry, the better chance you have of succeeding in it. Online membership, well-used, will assist you in knowing and understanding more about Hollywood.
