Does anyone know or have experience with these agents, theatrically or commercially?

Thanks!

Not me. Anyone?

Matthew Jackson is the main agent there...I believe he was at Acme for a time and after that Glick and now seems he has his own agency. But they are fairly new...

anyone?

thanks

Close..Matt Jackson was at Disney once a upon a time.

Then he was touring the country at franchised schools and competitions and workshops (still using the Disney name of course). Got kinda nasty when parents discussed it. There's still some evidence of this if you google "Matt Jackson Disney" compliments of Best New Talent and Starsearchcasting among others. Circa 2007.

At one time he was teaching acting to kids at In House Media (Hallie Todd from Lizzie Maguire owns this).

He got hired as the kids agent at Buchwald. I think he was there about 2 years?

Then he went to Glick..maybe a year?

On June 10th Gary Marsh (Breakdown Services) twittered that Jackson had hung out his own shingle with the Jackson Agency.

Not a fan.

Yikes. thanks for the info...I don't really know what to make of all that. Buchwald and Glick are respected agencies but all that Best New Talent stuff can be shady.

Anyway, thanks!

My son recently went on a cold casting and was picked up by Matt and Roman. He has been on several auditions that my other son has been on who is with Pakula/King & Assoc. They supposedly represented a kid who got a part on Desperate Housewives. That's all I know. My son is new to the game and going to school.

This agency is really new.

One of the girls from the Vampire Diaries is with Jackson can't be that bad...

A friend asks:

- How often do their people go out?
- Do former clients have any horror stories (i.e., is the buzz at worst neutral?)

Not a question but I'm guessing - this is very much a starter agency, no?
