Dreams vs. Reality: A Price Check


I have been teaching The Business of Acting for nearly two decades; I have been practicing The Business of Acting for much longer ... which is why stories of young (and no-so-young) hopefuls who fall victims to their dreams pushes all of my buttons. 

Today there is a report of yet another scam operation.

The lessons seem simple enough. But it's easy for dreams to cloud judgment. 

Here is a teachable moment reminder: Legitimate agents and managers will never charge clients for fees other than the commissions due them for acting work they are involved with/responsible for securing for their clients.

Class dismissed ... for now.
