Pretty regularly, I get an email like this one:

I just read your column on [topic]. Great info. Thanks. My question is about how that information applies to child actors. My little one is in a similar situation, but I’m not sure whether the rules are the same. Could you address this?

And usually, when I get these emails, I reply to them directly. Recently, I found myself copying and pasting a reply from one email into another reply and that’s when I realized, “Hang on. I’m answering this question or ones pretty similar to it often enough that I should explore whether this could be a full-on column topic.”

So, here I am asking you wonderful readers — especially parents of young actors, naturally — to shoot me an email at the address below about questions specific to kid actors and issues I may have covered in previous columns, so that I can be sure to give the “kid actor perspective” for a change.

I suspect that some of the “rules” of this business are the same, regardless of an actor’s age, but let’s find that out for sure! Tell me what areas I could cover, specifically for the young actors in the bunch. If I receive enough suggestions, we could even end 2007 with a little series on issues specific to child actors and their parents. Sound good?

Let me hear from ya!
