Are modeling agencies the same as acting agencies?

Answer:

No. Modeling agencies only deal with models and have no connections or interest in booking acting work for their models. Acting agencies are sometimes known as "talent" agencies, which means that they represent not only actors but models as well so if you are interested in doing both, you would be better off searching for a talent agency instead of a modeling agency.
