I just received an Email solicitation from a local modelling agency that has a Film/TV Division.
Apparently, the person who heads that division "thinks I have a good look" & wants to know if I'm represented by a Canadian agency.
Again, very flattering to be sought after in such a fashion, although I find it curious that this individual was not able to ascertain for herself/himself something that is made known publicly & internationally before approaching me.
The agency is a member of the SCREEN ACTORS' GUILD™ (status I was not aware that an agency could pursue & be granted), & has "a strong network of clients in New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Milan & Tokyo", claiming to have "the experience & alliances that can pull in its favour to book [me] anything from a commercial to a cover of a top fashion magazine, & [having] some of the toughest booking agents on [my] side, will work, & at an impressive day rate."
I get the impression that this agency has geared its pitch toward models rather than to actors, since there was no mention of how hard *I* would be required to work once I had been secured an audition for a given role, nor of what the agency would expect of me in return for its efforts on my behalf.
Of all the offers I have been made by other agencies, this was the boldest & most aggressive, but I mustneeds think on it further....
