QUESTION: I thank you for that website, but i just need some info of how to contact agents by telephone, and since you worked with Disney i wanted to know if you knew of any from their, as Disney and their show's always say,"anything is possible" so that means that dreams can come true and this is one dream that i hope can come true.
   thank you,
         -Jordan Wuest

Answer
Jordan,

Since I don't know your talent, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to refer your to any talent agencies or managers. If I had seen your work and knew more about your talent, then it would be more appropriate for me me to make recommendations and referrals. Sorry that I can't be of more help.

Good luck!
