what are your top 5 scams? this should be funny.

I'll start:

1. ACT! I love their ads. so funny!
2. JC. John Casablancas has this "online star test" to tell you if your going to famous. NO MATTER WHAT YOU PUT "YOU SHOULD" TAKE HIS "CLASSES"! LOL
3. JRP. 'Nuff said.
4. Explore Talent! They are everywhere. It's hilarious how whenever you click on an acting thing, you almost always get ET.
5. Talent Jug. This is here just because backstage has ads from them.

1 Talent Hunter
2 Model Management "New Faces"
3 Explore Talent


Well that's all I can think of for now. But beware of the above.

Yeah, I tried it.



I didn't think I had the right look, but John Casablancas saw something in me. I think I'll send him this headshot.

I've just recently touched base with "Actor's Aid", does anyone know anything about them?

Let's add the Exposure Studio and RPM Talent to this list.

Now, not only do they try to make you use Jim Richer for pictures(RPM Owner's Husband), they are now trying to get all the actors to sign up for some Video Email MLM (like a casting director is really going to appreciate some actor they don't know sending a personal video message.)

Then, there are the open calls. How many real agencies have open calls now?

They had a management company with them for few months that was kicked out of SAG, and now they are also out the door.

That place is a revolving door with one new scam after the next.

Castings for commercials that don't exist, pilots, you name it.

RUN, RUN AWAY!

Why does SAG let them keep their franchise when they never play by the rules?

Before someone screams that I am a first time poster and here only to damn RPM all I can say is to do your homework and ask lots of questions if you go over there.

Jim Richer is a really good photographer, but the whole place seems to exist to suck money, not get actors hired.

Top 5

Exposure Studio (741 N Cahuenga)
RPM Talent (same address)
Carl Scooters (Sends business to Exposure Studio) and was just indicted for a second time. Do a search for carl scooters scam - tv station has a news clip about it.
John Robert Powers models ... scammy as it gets.
Explore Talent

Thats my top 5!

Morgan if you don't mind I'm just gonna piggy-back on you. Because your top 5 was right on the nail. I'm also gonna throw two more out there tell me if you guys also agree. Scott Powers and AgencyPro (that I don't get- but it's just me)

Everyone knows the history of Scooter's Fab Cast, Carl Carranza. The business does not get any dirtier than with them.

Scooter's is moving into TheExposureStudio and RPM Talent's building as a tenant.

Just imagine - you can get totally ripped off all under one roof for children and adults alike.

It's a happy day in Hollywood and not surprising that they are now in bed together.
