2012 Los Angeles Actors Resource Guide eBook
Los Angeles, is the primary nexus of the United States film industry and is home to Warner Bros. Studios, Universal Studios, Culver Studios, 20th Century Fox Studios, and over 57 additional major film and television studios. Thousands of casting directors, talent agents, headshot photographers, and acting coaches are located in the Los Angeles area. Due to its fame and cultural identity as the historical center of movie studios and movie stars, the word "Hollywood" is often used as a metonym of American cinema. Today, much of the movie industry has dispersed into surrounding areas such as the Westside neighborhood, and the San Fernando and Santa Clarita Valleys, but significant auxiliary industries, such as editing, effects, props, post-production, and lighting companies remain in Hollywood, as does the backlot of Paramount Pictures, Sunset Gower Studios, ABC Prospect Studios, Ren-Mar Studios, Warner Hollywood Studios, and Hollywood Center Studios (home to almost every Disney Channel series)
Minors and foreign talent must be legally eligible to work in the state of California and in the United States.
