I am a talent agent. It is unfortunate that companies will take the American dream and use it to bribe people for the little money they have because they know people are willing to give it to become rich and famous. It is many broken promises to many people who unfortunately never get a chance to appear as an extra or star of a film/show even after they dedicated their whole bank account. Just be informed, that any agency/company asking for your money to get your face seen is simply full of crap. Ofcourse they understand that if they offer you all these "opportunities" you will be sure to like the idea of it, there is no gauruntee that because you give money to them that you will be chosen. Some people have the talent and look it takes, some don't. Those who don't are the main people who get used in these scams.
As a talent agent, my company NEVER asks for money. We select our actors carefully, because we understand that it is not them we make the money from, it is the clients. These scams often treat the actors as the clients..which they are not. With devotion and trust gained from our actors we are able to gain the trust of the surrounding up and coming actors which gives us great benefit and we are no doubt a more successful agency than one who charges to get your face seen. Good luck to all!
