I am a young aspiring actor who has been looking for talent agencies for a few months now. And,…read moreback in April, I got a response from an actual talent agency...or so I thought. Anyway, so I walked in there, well-dressed and well-groomed, thinking I was about to get a real audition for a real talent agency. The first thing I noticed was that it didn't seem to be a conventional place for an acting audition. Instead of being a large room, it was an office. I sat in the waiting room for a few minutes, and the first thing Bill Reynolds did was make me read a binder of information...out loud. When we got into his office, it was clear that the place was unprofessional and messy, with photos of his "talent" scattered across the desk. Throughout the "audition", Bill told me untrue stories for about two hours. He claimed that he knew Tyler Perry, Denzel Washington, Angelina Jolie, Burt Reynolds, Robert De Niro, Halle (which he pronounced "Holly") Berry and tons of other A-listers both living and dead. He told me how his agency was prestigious and well-known, and how he's gotten tons of talented people to work through his agency. Then he completely jumped the shark. He told me that I needed to pay over 300 dollars to get photos from a special facility or else I'd never make it. That's when my mother and I knew that the whole thing was a sham. Also, throughout the interview, he cussed a bunch and used terms like "oriental" and "retard". Long story short, avoid this guy at all costs!!!

This place is a sham. Bill Reynolds will tell you untrue stories for 2 hours, then put the hard…read moresell on to get you to buy pictures through them for $300. He was never on General Hospital, and they aren't a SAG approved agency. Any 5 star reviews for them on google and such are fishy, as they are worded similarly, and seem to be written by the same person. Avoid this place.

It is refreshing to see the complaints above, as I have had the same experience with this company…read more I worked for BMT years ago and did not receive my payment until over 3 months after the event I worked. They were apologetic, and stated it was very rare a for a payment to be delayed so long. Thinking it was a one time mistake in the past, I signed up to work an event this past April. Flash forward over 8 weeks later and I have still not been paid. I was told if I was not paid by July 31st to check back in! That's more than a month away! Something is really sketchy about the way this company does business and I am receiving legal advice. As a freelancer for many years, I have never experienced this kind of negligence to pay. It truly is unacceptable. I feel like a total fool for trusting them twice. Not only will I not work for them again, but I hope people will reconsider before they sign up with BMT. Also, companies that hire BMT should be aware of how they treat the people who work for them. In this economy, we have to look out for eachother and I don't want other people to experience the stress of not being compensated!

I worked the Intel Developer Forum in Sept. 9-12, 2012 in San Francisco, CA for BMT. The contract was to get paid after 6 weeks. It is now towards the end of November 2012 more that the agreed time and had not been paid. What's worst is this company never even respond to emails. i politely inquired about payment to their accounting, staffing depts and their ceo/founder and never even got one reply at all.

In a very short amount of time I became well versed at acting in the entertainment industry. Within my first three years I had booked over 40 independent films and video projects, a full page ad in a national magazine, had three films that were sold for distribution, including one to Netflix, was in commercials, industrials, and many other acting projects including improv shows and community theatre. The community in terms of networking at the studio is incredible, the relationships, and insight is just phenomenal. Nick has created a wonderful platform to really grow! The long form improv shows are so much fun, hilarious, and great to see the craft of this style of improv well executed!

Updating my review in response to the owner's reply…read more I was in fact a confirmed participant at this studio, and I have now added photo evidence to support my experience. I'm writing this review to share my honest experience at this acting agency. I'm giving it one star due to two specific incidents. Incident 1: Payment Confrontation In one class, the instructor publicly confronted me, accusing me of not paying. I had given him cash directly, and his reaction was to claim that, after 20 years of experience, I couldn't fool him. It was humiliating. The only reason he backed down was because another student--who happened to be white--stood up for me and confirmed he had done the same. I felt racially profiled since the instructor didn't believe me until someone else vouched for me. Incident 2: Being Sent Away On another occasion, I arrived about 5-10 minutes late due to construction. I arrived at the same time as the owner, Nick Conti. Despite paying for these classes, he told me to leave in front of everyone, and I had to immediately drive back 40 min in traffic. I've seen other students arrive late, some traveling long distances as well. To single me out made me question if race played a factor again. When I returned to the next class, other students apologized to me for how the situation was handled. I appreciated their kindness, but I would have expected that level of professionalism directly from the instructor or owner. These experiences were unprofessional and made me feel unwelcome. I can't recommend this agency.

I've worked with Kiddin Around / Real People Talent Agency for many many years. I can't say enough…read moregreat things about them. From day one, they (especially Eva) have been incredibly genuine, honest, and supportive--qualities that are rare and deeply appreciated in this industry. The team is friendly, approachable, and truly invested in the people they represent, not just the bookings. They communicate clearly, advocate with integrity, and make you feel valued every step of the way. It's refreshing to work with an agency that leads with transparency and kindness while still being highly professional and effective. I'm genuinely grateful to be represented by such a caring, trustworthy, and supportive team.

From the moment we walked in, the agency was warm, professional, genuinely excited to work with kids. They took the time to get to know my daughter's personality and interests, which made her feel so comfortable- she's usually shy, but they had her laughing and posing for headshots in no time. The agency's keeps us updated on auditions and opportunities without overwhelming us, and they've been super transparent about process fees, and what to expect in the industry. What I love most of all is that they prioritize the kids. They are not pushy, and they make it clear that this should be fun for the little ones. The whole vibe is positive and encouraging, which is so important when you're trusting someone with your child's dreams. If you are thinking about getting your kid into acting or modeling, I'd definitely recommend giving Kiddin Around Models and Talent a shot!

Lesa tells infinite lies. Be wary of these 5 star reviews. I've never been told so many lies by…read moresomeone who is actually in business anywhere and hasn't gone completely bankrupt. I am flabbergasted & gave her a million chances to make it right, but she does not see us as valued clients. All she sees are cash cows! Do not fall prey. To start, I have been repped by an agent previously. in ONE month, he had me meet far more potential casting directors for commercials & modeling than she did in over a year AND I didn't pay a fee with him. Period. What I believe this woman needs is a class action lawsuit and no I'm not kidding. Let's start from the beginning. She responded to my app, went into office. She gives everyone the same song and dance- we just booked this person for this much money, and this for that and blah blah blah. The first lie is wildly overpromising implication that you will get bookings like this. Exact percentage unknown - assume 90% of you won't. She is not discerning in who she chooses to bring in as long as she can get her money from you. So, I asked multiple times - do I need the acting classes to get booked. I do not live anywhere near here and would like to use this money to take acting classes elsewhere. I told her this over & over. Every time she said no- you don't need the classes. She implied that I would see similar demand and bookings. She also told me that this money goes to the teachers. Sure, I'll bite. Maybe some of it does, but how much do you keep, Lesa? And don't lie... it will be hard for you. So, if you're part of the (exact percentage unknown- assume 90%+) of people who pay the $2K+ and never even get close to making this back, you aren't alone. Another lie - I wrote a review to this effect previously. She IMMEDIATELY sent me a text. I deleted it and thought maybe I'll give her another chance. Her canned lie is that her receptionist/admin saw the review and told her about it. FAT CHANCE- the review was up for about 15 minutes and she texted me literally right after I posted it. Ok, fast forward- it's been over a year and I can count on one hand the number of times I've been contacted about even potential prospects. So, I asked for a refund for the acting classes I never took. Goes to teachers, right??? Ok, so she pretended she was going to refund the money, but then quickly reneged. I don't mind paying for Tom Logan or the headshots, but I never took the classes. If your teachers are paid out of this money & you give any sh*ts about your clients, you'd refund money for classes I never took. So, she said it would come out of her account, etc. So, I said yep, I'll take the refund as you've had OVER a year to contact me with any gigs so that I could WORK and make the money back. Please note than one gig was booked for $75- enough for gas money and lunch what a joke. Ok, so, I think she's going to make this right and refund the money for acting classes, BUT SHE DOESN'T.. she starts sending me random bookings for other people and a bizarre one text about prom & all this random garbage. Yes, Lesa, I'm sure you book your top clients with gigs... Is it about 2%? But, a solid majority of her clients will NEVER and I mean NEVER get close to making that money back. What else? Oh, she said she wouldn't be in business for 30 plus years if it were a SCAM... beg to differ here. Jeffrey Epstein was in "business" for decades without getting caught. Since what you're doing - preying on the aspirations of young aspiring actors and models for a fee, you will fly under the radar. So, yes, I absolutely believe you'd still be in business even though most of your customers get metaphorically screwed. Did I mention I'm in sales? I've had to refund fees - even if the fault was not my own to keep the relationship in tact. As we all know, actions speak louder than words- the fact that she won't refund my money for acting classes never taken (oh, and this last go around, the lie turned into - oh the acting classes ARE required to get bookings and make money)... yeah, they weren't when we first met. You just wanted my money. What did you spend it on Lesa? A new purse or a vacation? So, for the majority of us who never even get close to making this money back because she'll contact you less than a handful of times over 1.5 YEARS with low paying gigs, this woman needs to be hit with a class action lawsuit by ALLLLLL the people who never came close to making this money back despite her promises of grandeur and money in your first meeting with Lesa. This review is 100% true and it will be posted everywhere I can find a place to post. For those who were also scammed out of money, it's time we all band together because she does NOT care about you as a customer. She just wants your MONEY. DON'T DO IT!!!!! I'm certain many of you had similar experiences. Power in numbers. Feel free to contact me. People who prey on others are the lowest of the low. Poachers. Thanks for the lies, Lesa!
