But I have to say once ACTORS REPS called and I was asked to work...(alllll dayyyy) I was pleasantly surprised at what a GREAT time I had. I have worked on it now numerous times and it's fantastic..

I auditioned with Actors Reps about 2 months ago. I left my headshot and resume. Shortly after Actors Reps called me and sent me on an commercial audition, it was my first legite audition and I landed it with GREAT pay! It was an LXTV promo for NBC which is currently airing. I'm also working on set for Rescue me on June 1st.. \r Thanks Actors Reps... \r Isacc Rodriguez more

My friend John and I have been a client with Actors Reps for roughly 10 years now. We have gotten a ton of work through them. For Instance check us out being interviewed by NBC news May 14th 2010 11:00 P.M. in regards to Law and Order..\r \r That was us being interviewed on NBC We owe our THANKS to Actors Reps..\r \r \r -Reggie Rollins more

Just finished rapping up on the set of ""Certainty"". Pretty quick 6 hours. Though last week I was on the set for ""Lights Out"" and that was a long 14 hours, either way it was really good time. Can't wait for the next project Actors Reps sends me on.. Hopefully it won't be like ""Lights Out"" LOL... Pros: A lot of fun meet good peeps Cons: Can be long hours... more

It's a very common scam they tell you they can get you work but you need head shots. They refer you to an expensive photographer ... MIGHT get you 1 job making pennies then you never hear from them again. My personal experience: I showed up...read a side...the guy asked me ""if I had been in the business before"" and told me to call back the next morning. When I called back he told me how excited they were to start working with me and that they didn't just want to have a regular ""extra"" relationship they wanted to send me on bit part auditions. He then put me on hold...Came back and gave me the EXACT SAME speech ... word for word as if reading from a script. He said the first thing I needed to do was get them some head shots. Before I was able to respond he put me on hold again and came back with a photographers name. I told him I didn't need a photographer as I already had head shots and asked how many they needed. He told me they look at head shots Tuesdays at 1:00 and immediately hung up. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ... Extra work doesn't require anything more than a snapshot. No need for expensive head shots to be a face in the crowd. It's obvious all the positive reviews are fake since their names either have a letter for the last name (i.e. Karle B, Martin M or end in 123). And the fact that they all point out the abundance of negative feedback and try to defend the company. If they were real experiences the people wouldn't be so committed to discrediting other experiences. DON'T BE FOOLED. Cons: SCAM more

This is a 100% scam. First of all there is no such thing as a casting agency signing someone. All the good reviews are coming from the scum bags who work for them. All the real agencies are registered on the SAG website. Please be careful, there are so many scams in NYC and people are so desperate they are willing to just give money. No agency will ever have you take head shots through them. All casting agencies only take submissions, they never have you randomly come to an open audition. This place only has a license because people who fall for their scam of paying for head shots, they maybe get them one small job, so the company won't get shut down. Always looking up companies and make sure they are registered with the union. They keep posting on Craig's List, so if you see an ""audition"" with their phone number in it, don't respond. DON'T EVER PAY FOR HEAD SHOTS THROUGH AN AGENCY. Cons: THIS IS NOT REAL more

by Vanessa V I have been a client with Actors Reps on/off for about 7 years. I was surfing the net researching Acting Agents when I came across Actors reps. I was curious to see what people were saying. I was a bit surprised when I saw some of the negative reviews but also realized that the person writing these negative reviews seems to be the same person writing them over and over again on different sites just rephrasing there same points. I personally have never experienced any of their complaints. I would take it with a grain of salt. more

Actors Reps Of Ny is Wonderful by Martin M. 5 Actors Reps Of Ny I have been a client of Actor's Reps for a little over a year now and I have only good things to say about Richard, and his staff. When I first went to AR, I knew nothing about show business or what to do to get started. Not only did they help me get my headshots,they also helped me put together my resume, and that very day they booked me in my first movie. Since then they've booked on several tv shows and many feature films. I highly recommend Actor's Reps to anyone who wants to get started in tv or movies more

Actors Reps of NY seems fine. by jess g. 3 Actors Reps Of Ny I just went there today...they didn't ask for any money, or say anything about headshots. It seemed pretty legit. I guess I'll see what happens from here. more

Actors Reps is a way to get started by Melody C. 4 Actors Reps Of Ny It takes hard work, persistence, and determination to make it in this industry. A gig will not be handed to you and we all have to start some where. My experience with actors reps has been a wonderful learning experience. It is a great way to get your foot in the door and learn the necessary traits of what it takes to be successful in this industry. I've worked directly with Ray Weir and he was extremely supportive of helping me get started. He taught me how to put together a resume and he even contacted me first hand with upcoming projects that they were getting in the office day to day. On the flip side, because this is a competitive business it was very hard to get through on the days that clients are supposed to check in for work. Eventually, if you want to further develop and grow as an actor, you do have to seek better representation. Actors Reps is an excellent place to get started just to ""learn the ropes"" so to speak. As for head shots, you will have to pay for them regardless that is, if you want them done professionally. I thought the asking price was fair, and you even have the agents Richard or Ray sit down and review all of your shots and choose the one that best represents you. I was very pleased with the out come of my head shot and I still use it today. Although I never got work through actors reps, I only hold myself accountable for not being available as I should due to other major responsibilities in my life. It's all about timing and luck. For some, actors reps can be a great avenue to bring them into that big break they've always dreamed of; for others like me, a great learning experience. I extend my thanks to the crew at actors reps. Some day while I'm accepting my academy award, I will think of you.Melody more

by Danielle L. 4 Actors Reps Of Ny I don't understand why some of theese people are putting up negative reviews that are so far from the truth. For a few months I was in there in house database and then decided that I want to work for them more. So I re-auditioned last week (the girl was extremely nice) I gave her my resume and headshot (although she wasn't to pleased with my current headshot I was NEVER once asked to use there guy... I'm bringing them a new headshot by next week). Anyway, I called the next day and they booked me on an audience job (yes and audience job, and anybody with a brain knows that to find your way to the top you must start at the bottom. Theese people are helping you do that. Plus if you are really in it for the acting, you wont care if it's audience or not. I am very pleased and cannot wait to start working on more projects with them like gossip girl and 30 rock. As far as the getting hung up on and fast talking, thats completely normal in this industry. Actually, they handle phones calls alot nicer then most agencys do. If you really have a compassion for acting and want to move foward with it then you wont mind the quick phones calls and the busy atmosphere. The jobs and the experience are well worth it--atleast in my eyes!!! Posted 09/18/09 | Report Abuse more

by Richard N. 5 Actors Reps Of Ny Hi Guys, I'm just in from work on the set of ""MERCY"", right off the heels of ""WALL STREET 2"" with Oliver Stone and Michael Douglas, ""SWEET LORRAINE"" with Tatum O'Neal, ""THE ADJUSMENT BUREAU"" with Matt Damon, and ""THE OTHER GUYS"" with Mark Wahlberg. I had to write to you all to say how truly thankful I am that you got me started. In exactly 4 weeks, you got me from head shot to set to set to set. Richard, your no-nonsense truth and guidance, humor and knowledge of this business is brilliant ""right down to the staple."" Fiona, you're all that and, thankfully, much prettier to look at and sweeter to listen to. And, of course, ""the girls."" You're the best! I've just joined your online service because I not only trust and believe in ACTORS REPS, I feel there's more to come. I always talk you up on the set, where everyone thinks my head shot is great, and can't believe my resume was built in such a short amount of time. I can't believe it either. Happy Thanksgiving, indeed. Sincerely, Rich Nobile more

by Dale C C. 5 Actors Reps Of Ny To All Actors: I was raised to believe that everyone has the right to speak their mind. However, I do take exception to the aspersions posted on City Search & Insider Pagers concerning Actors Reps as being disreputable and underhanded in their business practices. Nothing is further from the truth. I have never met a more hard working or dedicated staff as Richard Brannan and his office personnel and I say to you that malign them SHAME ON YOU!! Do you have any idea of what it takes to work day after day in this business dealing with personalities that have need to express themselves in multi-medias? And YES, as actors we need the services provided by agents such as Actors Reps that work hard and dedicate themselves to provide opportunities for all actors. Through Actors Reps I have had those opportunities on a number of T.V. and movies as an extra that I would never have had. Actors Reps works very hard to create those linkages with their clients and it makes my blood boil to have read these negative postings Walk a mile in their shoes before you make negative comments. Dale Chandler Pros: They are GREAT more

I have been working with them for 6 months now, and have been getting steady work, and paid on time. This is a great place to start in the acting business. Pros: good place to get started more

I'm really glad I hooked up with Actors Reps. because of their wide ranging contacts in the entertainment field. I was able to get a lot of jobs. I've been recommending Actors Reps to everyone I come into contact with. Pros: Great Agencey to work with more
