How do foreign actors like him manage to work in the U.S.?


I know they sign contracts to be in american movies,
but how do foreign actors manage to get a work permit
in the U.S.when they don't live in the U.S and just work
in movies for a couple of months? How do they manage
to work in other countries when most american actors
don't live over there either?

As someone who was born in the U.K but worked in America teaching when I was 19 to 21, you have to apply for an appointment at the local American Embassey which then take details and such. You fill out a forest of forms and eventually you get a 6-12 month working visa which you can renew pending work allowances
