Legit! When it comes to management Cylence is the place you want to be. Mike is very personal and…read moretakes pride in the talent he represents. He is not forceful, imposing, and controlling like a lot of agents in Hollywood. He is more helpful, supportive, and strategic with the moves he makes with you. He doesn't treat you like a number but takes his time to literally help develop your craft by offering useful advice, opportunities, sources, and information pertaining to your specific goals. I am so blessed to have someone like this in my corner along the way to my goals of being successful in the beast called Hollywood. Too many times talent don't take the time to thank their reps for doing what they do, but I find it sad they people tend to hog all the credit as if they did it alone. Since I've been with Mike he's gotten me so many opportunities and auditions and his assistant Hart work together to get you as many opportunities as possible. It's just up to you to do what you can to book and make a fan out of casting. If you get the opportunity to be repped by this amazing manager, I highly suggest you think twice when turning him down. Like I said there isn't any manager out here, and I've been through 3 since starting my acting career full-time a few years ago that will do even a pinch of what Mike is doing for his clients over there at Cylence. Keep up the great work team! Know that you have a client for life over here and I pray this management makes it to the very top of everyone's list in the near future.

He's always approachable for any questions, gives so much helpful advice, and knows the industry extremely well. He's totally dedicated to his clients and rarest of all--is just a great down to earth and trustworthy person. And the bottom line is well worth it too- I'd never had so many auditions or booked as much work before signing with them. Cylence Media Management is the real deal. :)

He is professional and tough when he needs to be and the best in the business. There is a reason Hugh wins agent of the year time and time again. My best compliment is that CTC thinks outside the box. They put you up for roles that I perhaps wouldn't submit myself on and then you realise they were right (again). If you are interested send in your headshot and wait for them to contact you. If you get called in, show them your talents. ie. guitar, singing, dancing, comedy....whatever. The CD's love Hugh and CTC. Make sure you are doing classes too. Good luck!

I signed on with Elton Bolden at Tilmar Talent about a year ago, and I have been astonished at how…read moremany auditions he has gotten me. And, these have all been very legit, high caliber productions and casting directors that have seen me because of him. In such a short amount of time he has gotten me auditions for network series regulars, major studio films, and national campaign commercials. Since Elton began representing me, I have been getting auditions and callbacks multiple times from the same casting directors. This is evidence that we have been building a good rapport with them. I have been seen by many casting directors that I have never been selected by before. That is a testament to the trust that they have in Elton's submissions. It is quite obvious to me that he has a great name in the industry, and I am so happy to be a part of his client list, because of this. Not to mention, he is just a genuine and good person, who treats his clients like family. Especially, during this slow time and uncertainty in the business, he is still bringing in excellent opportunities, which speaks for itself.

He's the perfect combination of a go-getter and a kind, respectful human being.

His positivity and encouragement have ripple effects on the Hollywood entertainment industry that I hope will be felt for many years to come.

Jeffrey Dupree does not have a clue on what he's doing and has no decent contacts in the industry. I got zero response from this clown after I emailed several messages.

He and Gil are very involved with their productions, showing up on set, and they seem to know how to deal with any problems. Once there was a problem on a smaller budget production, but he made sure extras were paid-- he went the extra mile. On the casting side, he gets quality talent, actors doing national commercials, guest star roles, etc. One of the productions he cast was featured in the LA Times, with many photos of extras, to the title 'dapper extras'. On the philanthropy side-- he is an actor and gives helpful advice and encouragement to aspiring actors. He was involved for many years with an annual film festival, which gave actors and directors a chance to be seen and get noticed. His casting service is really well-run. If you are cast, you are often given a chance to confirm with your call-in service. That's something few c.d.s will do. The reason why I don't give 5 stars is I'd like to see online submitting. Nobody likes to tell a casting director they are unavailable. For extras availability is always changing. Sometimes you submit for something earlier in the day, only to get booked before the c.d. can get back to you. Having a way to communicate your availability online would be very useful. Also, extras could add specialty photos and a small bio. Finally, if you're not getting booked, don't worry. Keep trying. It takes time. Once they get to know you and you develop some rapport, you will get more opportunities. If you aren't registered yet, new registration does open up from time to time. If it does open up, seize the opportunity.

Been wantin' to write this piece for a while actually...... If you're lookin' to make some extra…read moredough, plannin' on becomin' the next big superstar in hollywood, or just want to get paid to sit on your ass all day than look no farther.... Cause a life as a background extra is just around the corner! I've been with Jeff Olan castin' since about early Sept 2010. They were the first people that I worked with and have had much success with them thus far that is why I'm excited to Boast. ***If you're new to bein' an extra or thinkin' about signnin' up with them. Just take the plunge. It's a one time fee of $25 bones. You take a headshot and you're in their data base. You call their number and you see what's available and if the producers like their look they will book. It's pretty self-explanatory. Castin' agents: Jeff Olan, Ryan, Milton, Gil, and Vera.. Each individual has their unique style on the phone but Shows: Greys Anatomy, Private Practice, Medium, and Hard times of RJ Berger... (They occasionally have other projects but this is the most consistent. I feel that as an individual of color (Someone who isn't white) especially in Hollyweird can be very very discouraging at times. If you notice on set... The cast and crew is very pre-dominating white. However, you can't let that stop you from achieving your dreams. I feel that through all the casting agents and and calling services Jeff Olan is definitely the most friendly and in terms of caterin to individuals who aren't white such as myself and others. Also, not to knock other places such as Sandi Alessi and Central which are good. But the success rate is just so much harder to get booked and like everything they do pick a lot of favorites. So you gotta try your luck. ***I've gotten 2 sag vouchers from them and even Jeff Olan often times leaves things on the line and shows up on set to see how his extras are doing. In addition, he often leaves some heart-felt messages about life which can be cheesy but I do appreciate the sentiment.... So whether you're tryin' to break into actin' or doing this as a part time gig. If you're lookin' for a place to start I'd suggest Jeff Olan. Cheers and don't forget to leave your name and repeat your number twice so they can contact you.
