As an Actor, it can be very difficult to navigate the Entertainment Industry. Especially when you encounter people who go to great lengths to take advantage of your time, effort, and money.
Recently, I was the victim of a scam by an Extras Casting Agency known as Christopher Gray Casting. I explain how I was introduced to Christopher Gray and everything that went down with my situation in this short video below:
Ultimately, No matter what part of the Entertainment field you get into, it’s important that you do as much research as you can before agreeing to work with anyone. It can’t always prevent you from being taken advantage of, as was the case with me here, but taking even five minutes to do a thorough Google search of “The Name Of The Person” and “Scam” will at least eliminate most of the sloppy scammers that are out there. Had I taken extra time, I probably would’ve come across this article before I said “Yes.”
Hopefully, with posts such as this one, I can prevent other actors from coming across unapologetic scammers like Christopher Gray, and point them in the direction of industry people with actual integrity.
