Question
i want to be an actress. I don't have an agent because i don't know how to get one. i have an interview with jrphollywood on sunday. r they a scam? is it all they want is money??
Hi Shelbie, You don't start with an agent, you wind up with one. JRP is not an agent, they are an overpriced acting school and one of the worst scams in the nation. I would not even bother attending, they just want your money, lots of it. Before you can get an agent, you will need to be in a lot of plays and build a reputation for being a good actress. Best wishes and God Bless, Doc
