Complaint Review: Hey I Saw Your Commercial Mike Pointer - Los Angeles California

 Don't fool yourself and accuse people of Slander Mike Pointer. There is some pretty solid evidence here against you of foul play on your part and you're obviously feeling backed into a corner. You have no suit for slander. And "Timothy" is not the only person attacking you. You have NUMEROUS rip off reports against you.

The pattern is developed and to think those are all acting coaches trying to steal your "business secrets" is absurd. You sir are truly infantile and a snake oil salesman at best. Sad that you take advantage of new actors like that.

This post by Mr. Timothy L. (which is his internet, fake review name). As this post has been brought to my attention, I’m in the process of filing a suit in small claims court for slander. This Male person, as I have been advised by my attorney not to list his name on public platforms yet, is actually an acting coach that attended my free audit and 2 of my paid classes to steal information to use in his program for actors. I was informed of this by several of my clients that witnessed my Playbook materials I give to my actors on his desk at his studio. I’ve been coaching for 18 years and will not tolerate this attempt to destroy my name and company.

Moreover, for years I have received actor referrals from numerous agencies over the years. There is nothing illegal about referrals. To say I run multiple talent agencies is pure foolish and a very infantile, not well thought out way to try and destroy my company. Mr. Timothy L. you will be visited by a process server (with documents containing your real name) and I will see you in court.

Hey, I Saw Your Commercial!

Here is a re-upload of the letter as it appears to not have uploaded in the previous post. 

I also took Mike Pointer’s class and he distributed this letter to us before that may be of interest to you:

Title - Hello Mike Pointer. I was referred to you by Rebecca Brunson  

“Hello Mike! My name is Julie B. Warner. I was referred to you by a colleague of mine named Rebecca Brunson. I’m also very aware of the gray work you have done with commercial actors over the years.

I recently launched a Commercial Agency named Thrive Artists Agency. I have over 20+ years of experience as a Talent Agent and Studio Executive so I’m not new to the industry. I’m looking for well-trained talent which I’m sure you have. I’m looking to immediately sign 30 to 40 actors of all types.

My contract is non-exclusive for the first 3 months or until I book them on their first job. There is also a 3 month out clause if for any reason they want to leave the agency. 

Please forward this email to your actors that are seeking representation. All I’d require is for each actor to email me an introduction slate to see their personality (I’m sure they will be great based on your coaching). 

My email is [email protected]. Pass this along to your actors and tell them to feel free to email me for more details.

Sincerely, 

Julie B. Warner"

Who is Julie B. Warner?

Who is Rebecca Brunson?

Where is the true location (as well as contact information) for Thrive Artists Agency if it actually exists? 

I contacted SAG and they said "Well this class isn't union affiliated so there isn't much we can do. Be careful, there are a lot of scam classes out there."

The LA Consumer's Complaints department never returned my calls or emails. 

What did SAG say? Is Thrive Artists Agency truly a fake agency? Thanks.
