Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had any insight into the Colleen Cler Talent Agency. It seems very kidcentric and have a great reputation in that regard. HOwever, I am an adult male in his 30's. However, the called me in for an interview, so Im curious about their adult representation. Any insight would be helpful.

Thanks

I've haven't heard of the Cler Agency, but that's of little consequence.

When you're new and have limited experience, it's "catch as catch can." If they're legitimate and accredited, they can help you.

I have always advocated, GOING WITH THE AGENT WHO BELIEVES IN YOU. So many actors make the mistake of signing with bigger agents with the hope that their industry clout will somehow "rub off on them," only to taste the bitter disappointment of being passed over for bigger roles by bigger actors. I vastly prefer going with smaller agencies and getting more personalized handling, every time.

Even though your agent handles primarily children, any licensed agent who believes in your and is willing to work for you is a good thing. Just build your resume and give it hell. Moving on is an integral part of this business. If she doesn't perform for you as promised, a year goes by quickly.

Having any agency representation always trumps being agentless.

Hi and welcome! Colleen has been around for years and years and everyone I know that has had her as a rep says she's great for print. That's about all I can offer from what I've heard from a few of her clients.

I asked around and she has no rep in film and television for adults. But that might not be a bad thing. She could be strong in other areas and looking to expand.

Thanks. I had to postpone my interview due to a business trip, and she rescheduled it for a month later. Now that trip has been cancelled. Is it unprofessional to go back and see if we can meet on the original date?
