Hey Jas,
Actorsaccess is not a scam at all. If you are looking for "principal" roles this is a valuable tool for you to have. Actors Access and LA Casting (Casting Networks) are the two "must have" online services for any actor pursuing speaking roles.
If you are pursuing background work, Actors Access is virtually useless. Their background section (extrasaccess.com) only lists about 5-10% of the jobs that LA Casting and Hollywood O/S does on a daily basis. Only one casting director (Sande Alessi) uses them exclusively. Unfortunately she only uses them for hard to find or specialty roles.
Here's an easy breakdown:
Principal roles: Actors Access and LA Casting (Casting Networks).
Background roles: Hollywood O/S and LA Casting (Casting Networks).
If you can only afford one, and want to do both, go with LA Casting (Casting Networks).
Hope that helps.

You are so right DH. extrasaccess.com is a joke. I was dumb enough to sign up for it and can't wait until my subscription runs out.
I don't even think you should list Sandy Alessi as a CA who posts. She only posts about one job a week and its always garbage she can't find.
Here's a post she put up yestrday:
THE CURIOUS CASE OF BEN BUTTONS-
MALE DOUBLE LEG AMPUTEE NEEDED TUESDAY
Feature Film
SAG
Shoot/Start Date: 11-6
Pay Rate: $200/8 hours

This is a typical post from her. Double amputee??? Anybody out there qualify??????
Don't waste your time.

Your actually being to kind when Extrasaccess.com contains 5-10 percent of the other sites. 95 percent of the jobs on extras access are non-paying,shorts or student films.
Not my opinion - fact!
People should read this.
