MGR Talent Agency LLC. Reviews
I went in seeking representation as a SAG Actor... This place is run a husband/wife chritstian duo. They very oddly made it clear to me at the beginning of the interview that their company is "God's Company"! No place for that in a professional environment, right? I was uncomfortable with the idea of telling them I was not a christian. It was such a peculiar way to start an interview.
While Mellisa Morehead read over a lunch menu for nearly the entire interview, Otis, her husband did the talking... All the stars they discovered and money they've made... Yet, they were so vague and didn't mention any particular film or project... Just look at their very rarely updated faebook page for the vague posts https://www.facebook.com/MGR-Talent-Agency-LLC-1491805607794538
They told me they discovered a girl at Macy's department store and turned her into a star! (clearly this was their pitch and not very clever). They then pushed me for a 140 dollar fee to upload my picture to their website. Couple that with the Christian thing, I felt like I was at some christian revival. Salvation in the acting world was mine if I gave them 140 bucks!!!! Others were waiting in the lobby and imagine they could clean up getting 140 bucks from several people a day!
They did not ask me for my resume or experience... They only asked my name and then asked for 140 bucks. It was so skectchy I decided not to pay and left. I'm writing this to share my experience and glad I had the sense to not join. I think it is unacceptable behavior. I've heard of others who did join and were dropped shortly after paying them. Take heed! Better off looking ligitimate agencies in Santa Fe and ABQ... O'Agency, A&M. Mitchell and Presley are all reasonable people. They wont make you pay any money or tell you how they are starmakers or make you feel uncomfortable for not being part of their RELIGION!
I foolishly signed a contract and paid $140 cash to have my pictures posted on MGR Talent Agency website for the year. After two months, I sent a brief email stating that I was concerned about the lack of communication from them, about having only receiving one audition from them in those two months. In reply, they sent me an email with a "termination notice." They will not refund my money, despite having terminated the twelve-moonth contract after two months, and said I was welcome to take legal action.
