Where do you find actors?

This is a very late reply and not entirely helpful since it sounds like you're in the states. However, anyone who is searching the forums might find this answer helpful...

There's a UK website to find actors:

www.castingcallpro.co.uk

It's free to use and you can find a whole bunch of professional actors. It's actually where I found all my actors for Project Ophiuchus. Be sure to be descriptive in your casting call and tell them exactly what the project involves and how much you can pay (lots of actors will work for free so long as they get expenses and a visible credit somewhere).

I highly recommend advertising on Mandy.com - it's more widely recognized as the international standard for actors looking for work independently of their agents.

Backstage.com is THE resource for actors on either coast. They also have online notices for either coast. It does cost $$ to post a notice, but you generally get a wide response of actors.

I second mandy.com -- Lots of people look at that.

Also, Actors Access (www.actorsaccess.com) is the real breakdown service, talent agents and managers look at that, but you can also make a notice available to actors directly. Very high-quality talent on this one.
