Everything about The Spotlight Directory totally explained
The Spotlight is a UK directory of
actors and actresses. It was established in
1927.
It originally existed as a printed directory, but now also exists as an online interactive directory.
Typically, each actor and actress will be represented by a black and white
portrait photograph and details of their
agents' (name, address, and other contact details). Some actors may also include specific skills (such as singing, musical ability, or languages spoken) or physical characteristics (for example their height, or their hair or eye colouring).
The service also lists behind-the-scenes personnel such as directors and
choreographers. According to
The Spotlight's website, it currently lists over 30,000 people.
The Spotlight is primarily intended for use by professionals in the film, TV, stage and radio professions, and this is reflected in the cost of the service (the printed directory of actors for the year 2006 - 2007 costs £75:00 for a 5-volume work). The full interactive online service is
only available to industry professionals.
However, many larger
libraries hold copies of the printed directory, enabling members of the public to freely access information. The website also includes a basic search facility on its front page to enable visitors to look up an actors' agents' name and address. Because of this,
The Spotlight is a useful tool for those wishing to send
fan mail to actors, and for those wishing to contact actors to appear at
conventions.
