fellow fromers, i have incredibly depressing news, i just recieved a phone call from this talent agency which i completely forgot i sent headshots too about a year ago, they wanted me to come on for an audtion for a part in x-men 3, it was an unknown role, but they asked if i had long hair, i fi was alergic to any forms of hair dye, and if my eyes would be affected by contacts, if one were to put the piece of this puzzle together i was asked to audition for gambit, i had to turn it down because i could not afford the 300 hundred dollar sign up fee to become a client i am sad

300 $ is alot when your unemployed and are already in debt up to your eyballs so a 300 $ fee just to audtion for a part that might be some jagoff giving coffee to xavier on screen isnt worth it
are you kidding? being in an xmen movie, even as an extra is worth alot... why? cos in twenty years you can show your kids how you were part of comic history...
how much debt?
anybody who has any experience with an agency knows that if anybody asks for even a dime to "get you an audition", "promote you", "put you on our list", or "cover costs", you should immediately turn around and walk away.
second, if you had even one friend in this world, they would get you 300$
whats the agencys name? you are either dealing with a shady agency or just lying.

Mate at no point do I believe you, There is no sign up fee for any role mate - how I know this is because I work at a talent agency and contracts hold no legal fees...sorry buddy but if any of that is true (knowing first hand that Gambit would not be casted through a talent agency) you would of been sucked into a con
sugar - no intent to offend - but i'm young, cute, have fiery red hair, sparkling silvery green-blue eyes like the sea on a perfect day, a dazzling smile, and a personality like a truckload of magnets. i can act like no one i've met, and no role is below me. nor is there any part too hard for me to play. the reason, then, all this being fact, that you have never seen me on the big screen is that i can't afford to work with an agency. the ones i've tried to work with charge you up front, and even more if they get you an audition, and the most of all if you actually get cast. i wish i were in australia. maybe there, honesty's a quality. but here in the americas, the concept of honor and truthfulness is really outdated. here in n'awlins, especially, it must be admitted. because they can get so much money from starstruck idiots. go to washington, d.c., my other home (well, actually, that would be potomac, md, but, really folks, it's five from the city), and they'll charge you 1800 up front, just to pretend to look for stuff for you. the trick, dubefan, is to not believe them. it may not have had any significance. if it did, forget that. boy, would i be ticked off, though. that those junky talent agencies actually do something. while i sing and perform stupid monologues at that damned bar every single night, hoping someone will notice me. not like i'm inconspicuous, anyway, with my red hair and all-white clothes (which are rather form-fitting, i must confess, flatteringly so), silver jewelry out the wing-wang, and, well, other noteworthy features that catch the eyes. and i'm good. if i could've stayed home all that time, and gotten found through a talent agency ... they'll have one angry cajun on their hands. really. well, sorry about your bad luck, dube ... better luck next time. for now i leave ya'll. love 'til l8er! -laurel
