Our Skills
We understand Actors
Jonathan has been a professional actor since 1994, almost 30 years. He knows how stressful it can be for actors but also how rewarding it can be getting an audition and even more amazing to get a call back and booking a role. If the producers, director and Casting Director all love the actor's audition, it feels like winning the lottery. It's almost like winning the lottery because out of so many auditions, an actor will only get the gig a small percentage of the time. We as actors have to accept that and roll with the punches, grow thick skin and not get upset over not getting the acting gig. Everything will be ok and there will always be a next time. And maybe that Next time will be your BIG BREAK! ;)

Agents are not granted a % of the following:
Per diem
On overnight shoots, actors receive $60 per diem. That money should cover any expenses you might incur while you’re on location, especially on the days when you’re not working.
Meal penalties
When you’re on set, the producers have to feed you every six hours. If they’re late, they have to pay you $25 for the first half-hour and $35 for the second, and it keeps going up from there.
Wardrobe & Prop allowances
If you supply your own clothes or props, the production has to pay you for the right to use that stuff. The amount depends on how much material you’ve provided and how long they need to use it.
Relocation allowances
If you live in Los Angeles and you book a series regular role on a show that shoots in another city, you’ll have to relocate for the duration of the shoot. The amount is negotiable, but you’ll probably receive between $5,000 and $10,000 to cover your expenses.
Forced calls
When you’re working consecutive days, you must be allowed 12 hours of rest between the time you wrap and the time you’re called back. If the producers violate this break period, they have to give you an additional day’s pay. (This one can put a lot of money in your pocket if you’re on an extended shoot.)
Agents are allowed a % of the following:
Overtime
There’s no limit here. If you receive some, we take some.
Fitting Fees
There’s a good chance you’ll have to go in a few days early so they can fit you for your wardrobe. The rates vary by contract, but they’re based on the amount of time you’re there.
Character Fittings
You’re going to make a lot of extra cash if you book a role that requires prosthetics. For example, let’s say you’ve been cast as a monster in a horror movie. That’s great, because they’ll probably need to create plaster molds of your body and special contacts for your eyes. That takes time, and you’ll have to go in for multiple sessions.
Rehearsals pay
This is rare, but commissionable.
Looping & ADR
After you wrap, you’ll usually have to go back at some point so you can re-record some of your lines.
