NWR: Does anyone know of a reputable modeling/talent agency???

It's not for me, but I have the most adorable little cousin ever and me and his mom want to get him into possibly modeling, acting or something on those lines. I know how many fraudulent agencies there are out there so I thought maybe I'd have better luck asking for recommendations.

Thanks!

Go to a book store and pick up a copy of 'The Ross Report'. It's a small booklet that has a listing of all talent agents and managers. Most are mail only and if any ask you for any money (even for pics) run, don't walk. FM me w/ any questions. Freuds are very obvious...they will usually ask you to take pics w/ their photog, or will charge you a 1 time fee to be listed in their catalogue, or will ask for more then 10%. (From what I remember it was 10% for agents, 15% for managers). Ford is very reputable, but if you are serious, don't put all of your eggs in one basket. The Ross Report has a good sized listing of agents involved w/ SAG, etc in NY and CA.

ETA: Most agencies that deal w/ kids will accept a regular ammature pic. However, If you want the name of a good reasonably priced photog in the city who does headshots, FM me.

Lot's of luck!

You guys were actually alot of help, thanks alot

Just sooo you are aware... it is a TOUGH gig. My son was modeling when he was a baby, but it becomes a full time job.. schlepping them all over hell and highwater. And they have to re-do the portfolio every six months because babies and small children change so much.

I couldn't do it after a few months and I applaud any parent who has the dedication to work it!

GOOD LUCK!

I had someone approach me once from Puff Daddy's company lol, I believe it was called Trans Entertainment? try punching that into google...
