Hello blue:

Yeah, I'm an actor and model. I did pay for an on camera acting class put on by my agent, and I paid for my portfolio, but nothing else.

Yes, you can see me in several movies - Black Widow and Harry & The Hendersons amongst others. I played a jailbird in Harry & The Hendersons. That's type casting.

Im in the UK i have started my own agency for models and my advice to you is DO NOT GO THROUGH WITH IT!!!.

Apart from a portfolio You Should NEVER Have to pay money to be seen in the industries. There are ways you can be noticed by the right people without having to pay them for it.

Its about marketing yourself in the right way.

If i can help in anyway let me know.

Model Search America is a good place to go if you have a unique look or talent. They have many agents and contacts from all over the world. Probably, your best investment is to get an education about the entertainment and understand what you are doing. Knowledge will remove the fear.

If you are interested in learning more, write me back.

What the heck are you talking about, wisethinking? Don't dig up old threads, and don't tell people to go through scam modeling agencies to be "discovered" or whatever.
