Make Your Kid a STAR!

Goss, who is also a spokeswoman for TheCuteKid.com, a Web portal for children interested in modeling, says that lately she has seen throngs of parents lining up with their offspring just to get a quick meeting with a casting agent. “A commercial could pay enough so that we would never have to worry about college,” Goss says. “You get a royalty every time the commercial airs, so you could be set for a long time.” Twins, she notes, have even more potential. (Olsens, anyone?)

It’s that potential upside that draws parents. Take 12-year-old Ashton Cline of New Orleans, who has been acting for just more than a year and already has three commercials and one small film under his belt. He has had an agent for some time and just signed with Morgit Management in New York. Is he rich? Not yet. “But the potential is amazing,” says his mother, Gnanse Nelson.

That’s the same way Alan Byrd feels about his daughter Abby. Two years ago, when Abby was 3, she was filmed for a local TV commercial. The director praised her and told Byrd she should get into acting, so her parents signed her up for acting classes, invested in head shots and got her an agent. Since that time, however, not much has come of it. “We’ve been putting her into local theater, but as of yet, it’s been one audition with no paid roles,” says Byrd, who lives in Orlando, Fla.
