What do agents look at when deciding to represent an actor?

Learn what agents are looking for in the actors that they represent.

Their talent, their look, their ability, their availability, commitment. You want to be the only person an agent represents (that fits your profile) so you will have a greater chance to win roles. I would be concerned if an agent said they had three just like me. I would want to go to an agent who feels I fill a gap. You want to interview an agent as he is interviewing you. Remember they don't have anything for you that will make your life complete. Your life needs to be complete before you walk through the door. That is the difference.
