Advice from a Hollywood Agent with Alicia Ruskin
If you are pursuing a Hollywood dream, securing an agent is incredibly important to increase the amount of auditions that come your way.
Alicia Ruskin is an actress turned successful Hollywood agent. Originally from LA, Alicia was a theater major at Brandeis University, The Sorbonne in Paris and on scholarship at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts. Throughout this time she performed at the Kennedy Center, throughout Germany and Italy, and began working in New York in stage and musical theater productions. Since leaving acting behind, Alicia has worked her way throughout the talent management industry and is currently the Senior Vice President and Partner with KMR President Mark Measures. She is the go-to person within the industry for contract and policy questions, and is often asked to lead workshops in the art of auditioning and the business of acting. Through her efforts, KMR became the first talent agency to be accepted into the prestigious Education to Business program at Pepperdine University’s Graziadio School of Business.
