The Savvy Actor is a FREE comprehensive resource center for professional actors by professional actors that provides both Marketing and Business Development Tools. The Savvy Actor is one of the only websites providing the services and knowledge that it does, and all in one place.

Between the two of them, JodieBentley & KevinUrban have almost 20 years experience in the acting business. They are both signed (and working!) with legit and commercial agents, and they book work consistently in all areas. On the business end, Kevin has a degree in PR/Communications and Jodie ran her own marketing/sales company in NYC for 4 years. They have learned a lot from trial and error over the years in acting and in business, and they put what works into The Savvy Actor.

Having a successful acting career is more than polishing your craft, it is also becoming a better business person, a better networker, and most importantly, a better you. It is their goal to help actors live consciously, create their own support systems, master basic business principles, and utilize marketing and organizational tools to simplify their lives. Quite honestly, they want to help transform careers, to make them less about struggle and more about ease.

"We realized that so many actors do not have the business and marketing skills necessary to compete today. We’ve found that most actors in New York are so focused on their craft that they have yet to become Savvy businessmen and woman.

Our mission is to empower actors to think like small business owners marketing their unique product, create effective business plans that keep them on track for their goals, and create marketing strategies that get them noticed and booking the job. We don’t believe in the starving artist mentality and encourage actors to search deep and find what will truly make them happy in their career and in life. " - Jodie Bentley & Kevin Urban
