Dear Caleb Unfortunately one of your people who sent me the above email was either very new to this site or took an extreme gamble and lost. I think every person on this site knows how I feel about agents, especially the one over in the eastern states who signed me up and NEVER got me work. And you want me to join an agency over in the US??? Now I always do research before I make any comments regarding other people. I went into your website and then did a google search. The results speak for themselves. If you feel you have been wronged I am happy to apologies. However, let’s look at the email you sent me: "I have gone through your profile and I feel talented guys like you should be on our database." Now although I have a large profile…you have no idea what my acting ability is like. I may have done over 20 performances within 12 months but you have no idea if I was any good in them. Quantity is not the same as quality and without having seen any of my work how do you know you can make money out of me (because that’s why ALL agents sign up actors). Also with over 10 million actors and models out there in the world, why would an overseas person pay anyone from Australia (who they have not met nor seen any of their work) to come over when they have thousands if not hundred of thousands of people available in their own country? If you believe that advertising on a site like this would get you more clients I’m afraid you are gravely mistaken. Especially since people like myself who have been scammed before will ensure every new person understands the steps required to get a legitimate agent. I’m sorry if you have felt wronged but I will not stand by and let people tell others they can have their dreams and then not deliver. But to everyone else out there… Keep Smiling :) David Green DRAGON FILMS www.davidgreenenterprises.com
