Please read the reviews before making contact, please, consider the reviews, I wish I did…read more Everything seemed ok with the owner of this agency, all interactions seemed fine, until one day she was so rude to me, I was shaking and had a very bad anxious day after the interaction with her. If this woman could talk to me, an older individual the way that she did, I can't imagine younger actors having to face the same. And it's too bad, because I had respect for her, seeing she too was older, like me. She insulted me to such a degree, she talked down on me, she spoke over me, didn't give me any respect, she just invaded me with verbal insults, and I was very kind to her, no reason for that behavior, nothing provoked her, she just decided to attack me that day. I realized she has no respect for human beings, I can't think of any other reason. Please consider the negative reviews and consider carefully before signing any contracts with this agent, she is abusive, because that is abuse what she does, it is verbal, emotional, psychological abuse and an attack towards individuals. Even if it is not a fizical attack, it is an an emotional, verbal, psychological, - whatever you want to call it- attack. I'm glad I now read these reviews and I confirm the same experience as most others. I am so sorry others had to endure this kind of treatment, and I wish there was a way to report this individual to someone. I feel someone in the industry needs to know how she treats people. We have to take harassment tests in order to sign a contract, I wonder, if what she does is some form of harassment/abuse, there must be a way to report this to the California State, I'm no professional. Please, go with your instincts, surround yourselves with people that value you as human beings and are interested in working with you. I've never ever been spoken to the way this woman spoke to me. I feel like shaking just remembering.

Not only are they professional and very hands-on with me as their talent, the owner is a working model/actor...that makes a huge difference to me because she knows exactly what is going on in the industry, understands the ups and downs and can directly relate to what I experience. Anytime I have questions or concerns, they don't hesitate to respond quickly and I love that they take the time to send group emails with all sorts of information, from workshops we can sign up for to discussion about important topics related to auditioning, keeping our profiles current, etc. Although I am a veteran, I wish I had an agent that took the time to break down the way things work when I first started so I know the roster of newbies at KIT are not only getting opportunities they otherwise wouldn't have access to, they're getting an agent who wants to educate them to ensure they succeed. I've never had an agent who worked so hard for me and who cares so much...with get togethers, holiday parties and other gatherings, KIT wants to be more than just an agent with a bunch of people on their roster. It really does feel like a family and I look forward to continuing to work with them for many years to come. Highly recommend!

The entertainment business is indeed a business, and even though from the day-to-day as an actor, it feels like anything but that, Uncut Casting does their part to really take the friction out of the Casting process.

I have first hand knowledge and experience of other PR clients he has gotten onto the wires repeatedly, and I am generally aware of the level of clientele he has represented and have been at parties with him where he met some of the people he represented in the past, such as Michael Jackson's former guitarist, David Williams, (the guy who did the iconic bass solo on Billy Jean and more). He always has a LOT of deals going on. I have known Bruce for more than a decade, and he has never worked less than 12 hour days, 6-7 days a week. I know that he attempts to resolve every dispute, and he can be strict, but he is not unreasonable or unfair. If anything, it is he strong sense of justice--of clear lines between right and wrong--that keep him from placating some people who in the past have gone online to rant. These folks represent a fraction of those he has worked with. I have not read anything negative online about Starpower that did not contain elements of fabrication and distortion or that was not done in a nasty, hysterical pique. Because Bruce does not yield to childish outbursts, sometimes people go off the rails to try get their way or get even. It's unfortunate for all involved. I have been a Yelper for a long time and I only write when I feel strongly about a business or service provider, because I believe in Yelp's mission, though I think that there's a blindspot regarding privacy issues and entertainment companies in terms of rebutting complaints. Feel free to look at my track record of providing unbiased reviews, both positive and negative, when judging the trustworthiness of this review. Thank you!
