Talent Agents & Managers

    What can be said about Agents and Managers? I mean it, what can be said? They are ruthless, shifty, liars, doubters, racist, play favorites, scam artists, thieves, and all around bad people.  You can think you found somebody to be with and then they turn around and don’t do a damn thing for you. In Las Vegas, the so-called Talent agents and Personal managers are absolutely worthless.

    Being in Las Vegas, you have a small assortment of talent agencies that may, or may not, give you the time of day. For me, they don’t look at me much because I’m not 6’ feet tall, slim to athletic build, light skin complexion. The agents in Vegas have this strong racist view of Black men; they either resemble a Will Smith type or the light skin brother on “Grey’s Anatomy”. They don’t want anything to do with you if you are 5’ 7” and a bit over weight. My resume can be 2 pages long, it doesn’t matter to them. They like dumb stoopid types that can’t act worth a shit. I constantly hear here, “you should move on to Los Angeles, you can do better there since you‘re union.” Ain’t that some shit? Pushing me away instead of trying to bank off my talents. Hard to figure out isn’t it? I am seriously going to start asking them for the money to move to L.A. and for them to acquire me a fulltime job so I can pay rent and bills while continuing my acting career. Wonder how that’ll go over. The Entertainment capital of the world and they still won’t hire Black men, except those that are good-looking and stoopid.  Chris Brown anyone?
