Universal Talent in Wayne, NJ is a stepping stone for beginning actors. Think of the agency as a college; what you put into it is what you get out of it. I knew nothing about the acting business until I read their ad in the newspaper. I did do some small theatre and I wanted to make money with my acting. Within the last two years I have done numerous jobs for Universal and continue to get jobs. No one guarantees that you are going to make it big. It takes hard work, persistence, dedication, research and sacrifice. Once you get on the set you can network with people who will give you advice on how to improve your chances in the entertainment business. From my experience I have been to places in the past that wanted $3, 000 to $10, 000 for head shots and acting classes with no guarantee of getting jobs. My partner Steve and I have not only met a lot of people on the set but I also almost got a speaking part in both a movie with Queen Latifa and in 30 Rock. Most of the people who walk into the agency think they are going to become a big star over night, but it does not work that way. You have to be persistent, except rejection and perservere, unless you have an uncle in the business. Think of all the people that tried out for American Idol and have stormed out on Simon, Randy and Paula because of rejection. The same holds true for Universal Talent. Once on the set you have to work sometimes 10 or more hours but just that by itself goes to show exactly how hard it is to be in the business. Look at it this way; you go into Universal Talent to learn about the entertainment business. Accept it for what it is.
