I do not know why they keep coming on here to defend themselves when anyone who knows anything about the industry can easily search "starpower entertainment" on here

The california directory of licensed talent agencies and find that they are in FACT NOT Liscensed to work as agents in the state of california. Not having an agency license not only means that the agency is not legit but it also means that the jobs they find you are the same ones posted on craigslist that you can access for free. In order to use LAcasting or Breakdown Express to find roles that only AGENTS have access to you need to be LICENSED!
Also, here is proof that they are not a sag franchised agency
They claim they are legit, but where is the proof?
I'm giving you proof that they are not legit, if you can't tell by Bruce's attitude alone. Ive worked in talent agencies, agents dont sign people who they think are jokes like Bruce claimes to have signed that 19 year old and laughed behind her back. Spoiled brats who dont have any work ethic are in fact NOT the type of people ANY agent wants to sign, and if he claims that she was so stupid then he is even more idiotic for having signed her.
Ive met with the guy a few years back when I did not know how to verify if an agency was legit, I had NO idea how they got my phone number but they kept sending me voicemails telling me i was "perfect" for this commercial. I came in to interview and they had NO idea who i was. Ironic how they said i was perfect for this and that role yet when i came in they had never seen me! They were shocked because i looked young and asked me if my ID was fake. Then they made me strip down to a bikini,Luckily I'm not "voluptous" otherwise im sure Bruce would have been getting off to it. He was extremely rude and was spitting bullsh** out of his ass trying to sound as if he knew the industry and was jaded. Legit agents DO NOT do this, no matter how pissed off they are at the industry. then he told me i could be a model (even though i am 6 inches too short to be a model) but that I needed new photos and that i HAD to pay for my photos even though i told him i knew photographers who could shoot me for free. He insisted i use his ONE photographer and i asked if i could pick my own. He got mad at me over this
later i found out that the way they harass talent is by posting ads on craigslist that look like casting calls. they do not say they are from starpower entertainment. thats how they get your number. a few months later, they called me AGAIN completely oblivious to the fact that they had already met with me. they scout via craigslist because they know a lot of the talent there are newcomers and are easily manipulated. please do not fall for this moron's act. i just sent you two sites that you can use to verify legit agencies and please remember, NO AGENCY EVER USES CRAIGSLIST TO FIND TALENT.
