The term child actor is generally applied to a child acting in motion pictures or television, but also to an adult who began his or her acting career as a child; to avoid confusion, the latter is also called a former child actor. Closely associated is teenage actor, an actor who reached popularity as a teenager. Regulation of child actorsThe activities of child actors are regulated by the governing labor union, if any, and state and federal laws. Longer work hours or risky stunts, prohibited in California, for example, might be permitted to a project filming in British Columbia. Some projects film in remote locations specifically to evade regulations intended to protect the child. In the United States, federal law "Specifically exempted minors working the Entertainment Business from all provisions of the Child Labor Laws." Any regulation of child actors is governed by disparate state law. CaliforniaDue to the large presence of the entertainment industry in California, it has some of the most explicit laws protecting child actors. Being a minor, a child actor must secure an entertainment work permit before accepting any paid performing work. Compulsory education laws mandate that the education of the child actor not be disrupted while the child is working. Whether a child actor is enrolled in public school, private school, or home school, the child does schoolwork under the supervision of a studio teacher while on the set. Finally, the hours a child actor may work are limited. Generally, stricter time limits are imposed for younger actors. A very young infant might be allowed "under the lights" only a few minutes a day. It is common in television production for the role of a young child to be portrayed by identical twins or triplets to reduce each child's time on set. When a child turns 18, the legal limits on work time are lifted. From Wikipedia under the

Q. For an argument, what are some good points to make about beginning casting calls for a child or young adult? When speaking to a parent who is opposed to the whole idea? How would you convince them? thank you. Asked by emily sean - Sun Jan 18 18:30:40 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. It is an overall good experience for a child...as long as the parent is supportive of what their child is doing. On the other hand though, if the child is young, unless THEY are the ones pushing it, I wouldn't push it as a parent...but if the child IS the one who wants to be doing this then it can be a great opportunity. Children learn so many great things from acting such as discipline, taking direction, and they learn how to deal with rejection. Of course it is also an overall FUN experience for the child...and the parent. If the parent is opposed to the whole idea but the child is the one wanting to pursue the whole thing then a good thing to point out to the parent would be that their child is wanting to follow their dream.
