Can I submit more than one self tape through actors access so my agents can pick which one?

Are they able to just forward one, or if I submit two will they be stuck sending both to casting? I did it in two very different ways and one could either be really good or terrible lol

Is Steven Ogg the first live-action actor whose breakout role was within a video game?

He had almost no credits before GTA V but then became a pretty successful character actor after it was released. Is he the first one to do this?
