  • Never pay for photography/portfolios, you are wasting your money. Legitimate agencies think they are worthless and so do I...

    See my website: anactor.net

  • Models Direct are now trading as Talent Management. They have been going for 20 years. They have been working with those behind Talent Search UK, for at least 5 years. They have been allowed to get a way with it, for far too long... As I have said before, any agency can make any claim they like and nobody will do anything to protect would be actors or models. Sad, but true!

  • Well, although it's not THEIR fault, a part of this can only be blamed on the society we live in today.

    Model this, glamour that; Everyone wants a part of it, and people lose their touch with reality.

  • They are all just arrogant!
