\"john-henry-soto\"by John Henry Soto<\/strong><\/p>\n

So as\u00a0some actors do, I was surfing through Craigslist for work.<\/p>\n

I know I know!!\u00a0 But in the past I have managed to find some pretty good stuff on there.<\/p>\n

I ran into this ad where the guy was looking for talent to work with that has had some success in films. He was very\u00a0clear about wanting to work with professionals only. I thought it was interesting. I’ve had a film at Cannes and have been nominated best actor for another so I thought I qualified. I replied to NAME REMOVED Business Management.<\/p>\n

I Googled the company name and didn’t find anything out of the ordinary. Just\u00a0a web page and Facebook page and a NYC address for his office. He contacted me right away\u00a0and said he would like to meet with me. I thought cool, so we made an arrangement to meet in the city. He wanted to meet at fancy hotel lobby in the city and get a drink. For some reason I didn’t think this was strange. I’ve done it before and it’s not a bad environment for a meeting. Looking back, I\u00a0should have requested a meeting in his office.<\/p>\n

Mistake number one! <\/b>
\nI arrive to the\u00a0meeting early as usual. This guy\u00a0shows up right on time well dressed, leather bag\u00a0and with a smile. Good first impression.<\/p>\n

We sat down and got a few drinks. Right off the bat I was impressed by how much he knew of my career. He saw most of my work and web blogs and made insightful comments. This quickly led me to believe he was legit.<\/p>\n

He tells me he’s an attorney which kinda bothered me but\u00a0I didn’t know why. I thought maybe\u00a0it was all the lawyer jokes and decided\u00a0to just let\u00a0it go.\u00a0We talked and he complimented the hell out of my\u00a0work.<\/i>\u00a0I was on a pedestal and thought this guy might be able to help me get to the next\u00a0level. Then a 6 page contract came out and I signed it.<\/p>\n

Mistake number\u00a0Two!\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

I shouldn’t have signed it but leaving I felt good. I thought to myself, this guy spent a lot of time seeing my work. Why would he do that if he’s didn’t want to help me?\u00a0 \u00a0He didn’t charge me anything. He made a few\u00a0suggestions that were not bad. So we began discussing directions to take, new headshots<\/a>, reel etc\u2026<\/p>\n

And then the weird stuff\u00a0started.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

He wanted to submit me for work. I thought that was\u00a0fine. I submitted his info to Actors Access, Casting Networks which is normal procedure. Both companies never heard of his company. <\/i>I mentioned this to him and he just said\u00a0I’m not registered with them.<\/p>\n

I said “OK,\u00a0but how will you submit me?”<\/p>\n

He said just give me your passwords and I’ll do it that way.<\/p>\n

I didn’t like that but I went along with it and gave him access.<\/p>\n

I would say mistake number three but I had so many I’ll just stop counting now.<\/p>\n

This went along for a few weeks and he started making weird comments via emails about my career. Cold attitude when I would suggest something. At one point he said co whatever you want. It’s your career.<\/p>\n

I remember feeling confused and thinking, am I missing something. Is this what a manager does?<\/p>\n

I finally decided to get control back of my career. I logged into my Actors Access account and Casting Network to find out he really wasn’t submitting me for anything good. I once\u00a0told him I would like to submit myself as well if that’s ok. His response was don’t submit too much cause casting people don’t like that.<\/p>\n

One morning I got up and logged into my accounts. I noticed a email that was missed from the day before. \u00a0 \u00a0In this industry, if you don’t move on a job you lose the job. \u00a0 \u00a0That’s it. \u00a0 \u00a0So I quickly emailed Neil and asked him about this cmail. \u00a0 \u00a0He said\u00a0I don’t know what you’re talking about.\u00a0 \u00a0That was the straw for me.\u00a0 I logged into all my accounts and changed my passwords.\u00a0\u00a0 I sent him what I thought was a nice email explaining that I felt better when I was submitting myself so I’ll be doing that from now on. \u00a0 His reply is below.<\/p>\n

I am in the Hamptons this weekend at an industry gala, but will not submit you here for anything as you wish. Please be sure to keep me apprised of any work you do as I have invested an enormous amount of time and given you an over-abundance of communication and advice daily, appreciated or not, and expect to be compensated at some point per our contract. \u00a0 Again, please be sure to apprize me of any work for which my commission is due. \u00a0 Hopefully you will get work from all the advice I have provided. \u00a0 I am sure that you will. \u00a0 \u00a0I am starting a film development division in the near future, but I am glad you prefer to get work on your own. \u00a0 I will not involve you as you have requested to get your own work. \u00a0 After the weekend, I will send you the invoice for the submissions and expenses I’ve incurred to date for you from AA. \u00a0 Thank you. \u00a0 Talk soon.<\/i><\/p>\n

This communication sparked a fire in me! He had not been helping me with anything that I can see. I handled my new headshot, my reel<\/a> and all the sites. \u00a0 \u00a0I was disappointed in myself because I’m not a young man and I have been in the music business for over 16 years before beginning an acting career. \u00a0 \u00a0So now I’m thinking this guy will make money every time I work. \u00a0 \u00a0No, this will not happen!!<\/p>\n

I contacted my old manager who after ripping me a new for signing that agreement gave me some\u00a0valuable information.<\/p>\n

I then spent the next 2 days writing reports to BBB. FTC,\u00a0Rippoff.com, NYS Attorney complaint department, Actors Access, Casting Networks, IMDB etc\u2026<\/p>\n

He never told me he was an attorney that would be on retainer for my film career. He also never helped during those times and was not submitting me. The onslaught of filings\u00a0against him and his company was so great that he just disappeared.<\/p>\n

Since then I’ve shot a few commercials and music videos and he hasn’t contacted me about anything. I don’t expect him to. I’m more concerned for those that will not take the proper action against these guys. That’s why I’m writing this today sitting in a cold library.<\/p>\n

The lesson here for me is don’t sign anything until you have someone you trust look at it.<\/b><\/p>\n

I also learned that you don’t need to\u00a0turn over your career to anyone regardless of the representation you’re getting. It will always be your career so stay sharp always.<\/p>\n

I love the industry and if I can help anyone avoid the pitfalls I will. If anything good came out of this, it’s that my passion\u00a0and love for the business is\u00a0stronger and I’m not willing to have that feeling taken from me. I also want to help artists find a cleaner road to travel.<\/p>\n

I feel I made it a little cleaner by taking action\u00a0and that makes me feel good.<\/p>\n

Thank you.<\/p>\n
