Actors Reps Of New York

I was down on my luck for a bit because the economy killed my business. So I wanted to explore other options and found this place but was really looking for work on set as a production guy or something. I wasn't sure what I was doing anyway but I did get on set not as a PA but as an extra for ""Royal pains"" and a Pfizer commercial, it's been a trip...........I'm loving it! A whole new door is opening for me and it's thanks to this company. Right on!!!! Pros: There is work Cons: No production jobs more

I went there and auditioned, got accepted and then was booked on Curb your enthusiasm which was pretty cool. I'm really a model but not for nothing being on set proved to be really beneficial for my career. I mean I met some great people! It's absolutely all about networking! Pros: got work Cons: only for print ads not runway more

Not a scam, they are not a casting agency either and they don’t claim to be, they are an agency. They book people and get 10% commission, just check with the BBB, they have a perfect record! I’ve worked in both the office and on set with them for the past six years. I know, they have long standing relationships with many casting companies in NY. Those casting directors call with a request for actors, give sign in numbers, location, wardrobe and later on the time is given. For example I’ll be working as an extra on Monday for “Curb your Enthusiasm” as spectator watching a fire. Personally, I have no clue what that person (spfinyc) is talking about it sounds fishy to me. Pros: BOOKED ON MANY MAJOR PROJECTS Cons: NO THEATRE more

First, they claim that they are licensed by the NYC Department of Consumer Affairs. Check for yourself: https://a069-webapps12.nyc.gov/dca_new/index.cfm I couldn't find them. Can you? First bad sign. Need more proof? Take a look at this posting on SAG's NYC site: IT’S COME TO SAG’S ATTENTION THAT THERE HAVE BEEN POSTINGS FOR CURRENT SAG PROJECTS BY INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE NOT BEEN AUTHORIZED TO REPRESENT SIGNATORY PRODUCERS OF TV OR THEATRICAL PRODUCTIONS. WHEN IN DOUBT ABOUT THE SAG STATUS OF A PARTICULAR PRODUCTION OR CASTING DIRECTOR PLEASE CALL (212) 827-1553 DURING BUSINESS HOURS TO VERIFY LEGITIMACY. Before going in for an ""audition,"" I called that number about the three projects mentioned by the person I spoke to at Actors' Reps (Arthur, Royal Pains & Curb Your Enthusiasm). They were NOT authorized to cast for any of them. Fair warning, folks. Pros: None. There Are Other, Legitimate Ways To Get This Work Cons: Sleaze more

I've been a client for a short time with this agency and I haven't had any problems getting work plus the staff is really nice. So far I did a 4 day shoot on this new TV show ""Lights out"" and today I'm on set at the double tree hotel for some film called ""Arthur."" Hope it's not a long set but hey at least I'm working :) Pros: AVAILABLE WORK Cons: LONG SETS more

Hey now I was just booked and worked on ""Royal Pains"" I never worked on set before and I really didn't know what to expect but now I'm just wondering how long it takes to get paid......lets see what happens. Pros: got work right away Cons: they work fast more

I've been a client of Actors Reps off and on for the past couple of years I've worked on 30 Rock pregnant, Rescue Me, Gossip Girl, Salt, The other guys, Just Right, Step Up 3D, Ugly Betty, Royal Pains, Phelam 123, Adjustment Bureau, Bounty Hunter, Sorcerers Apprentice and I'm booked on the new movie ""Arthur"" next week the 27th of July. For all those naysayers out there I must say, I've had some great sets and have made many contacts through doing this work. I certainly look forward to more bookings with my agency. Pros: good jobs Cons: not enough time more

Well I became a client of theirs a couple of weeks ago and so far I've worked on Lights out, curb your enthusiasm, something borrowed and Tues the 27th I'm booked for Arthur a remake. I wasn't sure what to expect from this company but they really have taken great care of me and I'm having a lot of fun. Pros: I've gotten great gigs Cons: longer then expected sets more

Last week I worked on the FX T.V. show Lights Out. I worked 3 days Monday Tuesday, Wednesday..and on set they asked me to come back on Thursday. I was thrilled!!!!!! more

Guys, Actors Rep is a scam. Like many other places in NYC, they post bogus listings to Craigslist, call you in, and then pressure you to get new headshots by their photographer. You'll never get any work from them, and if you call to question them, they will hang up on you. Any ""agent"" who requires you to pay for ANYTHING is ripping you off. Also, all of their positive reviews here are written by generic users with no other reviews on the site. ACTORS REP IS A SCAM, STAY AWAY! Pros: NONE, IT'S A SCAM! Cons: IT'S A F***ING SCAM! more

I walked into Actors Reps three weeks ago, I auditioned and left my head shot and resume……two days later I got a call to work on “Down Town Express” Last week I worked on “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and for the last three days I’ve been working on “Lights out.” I hope this keep on going because I’m having a BLAST!!!!! Pros: works quick more

I worked on so many projects for Actors Reps, I was on set last Thursday July 8th for “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and I’ve been working this week, Monday 12th Tuesday 13th and today for “Lights out” a boxing flick. It’s a long set but great food! I’m really looking forward to the new movie coming up at the end of the month………they’re keep me busy!!! Pros: GETS WORK Cons: NOT ALWAYS FOR MY TYPE more

I just worked on my first set last week, ""Down Town Express"" It's a film Actors Reps booked me on and it was great It was at the beach in a nice restaurant. So far so good!!! Pros: quick to get work Cons: don't have one yet more

I was looking for a change , so I decided to give acting a shot......didn't know what to expect. But with the help of my agency It's been a pretty good experience so far and I just worked on ""Curb Your Enthusiasm"" yesterday playing baseball in Central park . I have to say that Actors Reps has treated me good so far and gave me a chance to be in the right place. Pros: getting work quickly Cons: They always If your available to work lol more

Today I read the monologue, and they said I did a great job and to call back tomorrow... I want to know for my own experience and for everyone else's benefit what the end result will be. Right now I have 100 % confidence in Actors Reps to be an honest reputable company that keeps their clients in mind at all times. I already have head shots and a resume so in the next few weeks I won't be using their reccommended services for that, as in previous reviews where people where referred to a photographer. Right now, I think it's great what they're doing. I am new to the city, I have a job and a son, I do this for fun! I have experience, but I am no professional, so often I read reviews, just like you, and I was hoping that someone would leave feed back for a few days with the agency, not just the first encounter or their overall experience, so I figure that would be me to make it easier on people that are curious. Time to keep fingers crossed and hope for the best.. life is better lived as an optimist! My plan is to post today, tomorrow after the initial call back, the first ""extra"" paid job and so fourth if it will go to that. I Pros: Friendly Staff, they didn't ask for money Cons: Very quick.. no real commercial ad audition as advertised more

Actors Reps sent me on my first production for Something borrowed and saw Kate Hudson OMG i'm in loveeeee hahaha she is a hottie... They can send me on that set anytime... more

I was just on ""Light's out"" on Wed.. OMG it was an all nighter! Had a blast! Though it's an 16 hour gig, the people on set with me were awsome and I must say it's very interesting on how all these movies and t.v shows are made. I wanna do MORE!!! more

Was on set last week for the feature film ""certainty"" LONG hours but well worth it.. more

Was on the set of ""Something Borrowed"" today, 6:30 Am call time, but we wrapped early from the Rain..........Had a great time in central park!!! more

Hey, wait a minute I just booked the film ""Something Borrowed"" with Actors Reps. I'm in central park right now........having a blast!!! more
