I have looked through the past posts but can't find what I'm looking for.
Could anyone tell me which adult agencies take on child actors?
Thanks in advance.

Off the top of my head these are the ones that spring to mind:
Abacus Agency (ABA is their adult division)
Robert Kelly Associates
A&J Management
Mark Jermin Management
Bonnie & Betty (Although I believe they are mainly a modelling agency?)
Simon & How
Byron's Management
Jackie Palmer
I'm sure there are some others though

Why do you want an adult agency which takes on children? The ones rebekahamy are mostly agencies who take children and young performers. I know my son's agency only has one solitary child so not sure if that is more what you are talking about. Curtis Brown have some children, CAM has one but not sure about any others.

K Talent have a small number of children. They also took the trouble to write back to an enquiry when we were looking for an agent for DS (not everyone did!), letting us know when their books were open - though we were happily sorted by then.

Thanks for the replies. A chaperone that was with DS on set mentioned that I should look into putting him with an adult agency that takes a select few child actors. So I thought I would look into it but so far haven't had much luck

good question... one of the children on set had a chaperone as her parents couldn't do it and the chaperone's own children have done some high profile jobs (feature films and theatre) and she said that her children are with an adult acting agency. Made me wonder if it's different in reality or if it's just a prestige thing? Do they have different briefs or would CDs choose to see them over others? Just a question if anyone wants to share their experience?

In that case I'd say somewhere like Curtis Brown would definitely be worth applying to then. The ones I listed are mainly agencies that have roughly equal amounts of adults and children on their books, as I thought you meant that you were looking for a child's agency that could continue to represent your dc into adulthood
