Hi! I was wondering if anyone has information about Brett Carducci? When I googled him, he seemed completely legitimate. He's worked with many agencies that I've heard of, and has spoken at and been interviewed as a credible agent for notable publications (including one article that I found posted here on BackstageWest). I was really excited when he said he wanted to meet with me, but I just got off the phone with SAG and they said that he's not registered with the guild. What exactly does that mean? Does anyone have information about him (and/or his current agency, Sovereign Talent Group)? Thank you SO MUCH for any help you can give me!!!

in this biz, you never know. what is he ? an agent? did you see if he was with ATA or NATR ?

Relax. He's real. The fact that his company isn't franchised with SAG means absolutely nothing. None of the big agencies are franchised anymore. That includes CAA, ICM, Gersh, Endeavor and all the big boys. We're not either.

So congrats on scoring a great meeting and good luck!

Yay! Thanks so much!

As SAM said, a SAG franchise doesn't mean what it used to. Carducci is legit.
But for others, make sure the agency is LICENSED with the state you are in. In CA go to:
http://www.dir.ca.gov/databases/dlselr/talag.html
and plug in the name of the agency to check. You can also call and find out.
Do not sign with a non-licensed agent.

Keep us posted Tea. Knock em' died
