What is the matter with you people? Do you really think that you, or your child, are so special that you don’t have to do the things that everyone else has done before you?
Show business is a BUSINESS! And it is all about SHOW! If you were fortunate enough to be approached by a Scout you should consider yourself lucky. Granted, they are the bottom feeders of the industry, but they do serve a purpose. They are the first step up a long ladder to success. They will refer you to an agency like Cornerstone. If Cornerstone likes what they see and hear they MAY agree to refer you to a Management Group. There is no guarantee of that and they are not even going to consider you if you walk in with a bunch of snapshots that your brother took with his disposable camera. The people at the management group – probably the receptionist – are going to take one look at your pictures and throw them in the trash can where they belong. This is not amateur hour folks! This is the real thing! I know the people at Cornerstone and if they have a fault it is that they are too soft. They actually take an interest in the people they interview. They shouldn’t. They should run you through their office like cattle through a chute until they find the one person who stands out from the rest. It would make my job easier. Did you know that right on the other side of the office wall at Cornerstone they were filming Heroes, or more recently Jimmy Smits new show? You were that close to the real thing! And you blew it! Instead, you came here and read a lot of crap posted by an ex-employee who was fired because he was lazy and incompetent and who gets his revenge by making anonymous posts on sites like these. If you believe that garbage it serves you right! Maybe you are better suited for a job in another industry. Yes, you can supersize that Coke for me and yes, I would like fries with my Big Mac.
