When one walks up to the so-called offices of the casting solution one is greeted at the front door with a shoddy hand written note saying the offices are in the back, in the basement. After a small stroll through an alleyway, one enters an open backyard filled with beer cans, old decrepit lawn chairs and debris scattered everywhere. One can't help this woman's neighbours are filthy pigs. Going downstairs and opening the door into a laundry area, one realizes that this mess simply continues. Upon entering Samantha's so-called office one is greeted with the smell of marijuana smoke, old cigarettes, stale beer and the stench of dog urine. A barking yappy dog greets one. I'm not sure how this place is called an office as it is littered with a dirty kitchen, pepsi bottles and crap everywhere. Clothes strewn all about, this apartment/office clutter has an overall feeling of heaviness and defeat. Wading through the debris and crap one finally enters an office area full of more crap. how does this so-called talent agent operate out of here?? The desk is covered in clutter. Not bios, pictures or work related documents. It is covered in crap and more crap. She mentioned something about a box full of photos she was throwing out as the 'casting solution' had just taken over another talent agency. Didn't these people pay hundreds of dollars for these pictures?? As one continues to talk with Samantha, the never the unending barking of dogs permeates the conversation to which she constantly yells 'shut up! shut up!! shut up!!!". The feeling of professionalism died 10 minutes ago upon entering the apartment but this woman claims to have connections in this glorious business.
On doing only a little research, the only thing that shows up about this woman is the failed attempt at previous businesses, her ripping people off, and the general lack of trust it seems most people have about her. She claims to be very knowledgeable but as she chatters on, she only comes across as vulgar, crude and in your face about everything. She seemed to be stoned or drunk and I'm wondering how she even believes herself to be running a business with the interest of her clients being in the foreground. I'm surprised I was able to get off the couch without anything sticking to me. The entire business is nothing more than a dirty, dark and dingy basement with a drunken stoned mess. I'm guessing the presence of a computer serves as legitimacy to her endeavour. Everything screams I have given up on life and I am willing to drag you down with me. Simply check for the casting solutions Facebook page and see how many likes and followers she has. The numbers are dismal and it does not convey the confidence one needs to proceed in an endeavour that one is the passionate about. If you feel your life being drawn towards acting or modelling why put your trust and money in the hands of someone who has clearly no regard for her own life. One feels grateful to leave this horrible environment and breathe the fresh clean air of the outside. Don't invest your money in these lies, deception and this rottenness. Buyer beware.

For what it's worth, or if you just want proof of karma, this woman lives a horrible life. she lives in the basement of a shitty old house where she operates her 'business.' and really just wastes her life away. Stop by her 'office' if you want to see what rock bottom looks like. she's self-inflicting teh justice I'm sure the OP is after.

Hi there, I am Samantha Rose, the owner of The Rose Group Talent Management Limited. I left the business in 2008 due to health reasons. When operational I was a member of the EIC (Entertainment Industry Coalition) as well as the EICAA (Entertainment Industy Coalition Agency Association). Please look into these organizations and see what kind of rules we all abide by. This report is so false it is almost laughable. Please do you research in this industry as there are many scams out there. The Rose Group certainly was never one of them. Thank you for your time, Sincerely, Samantha Rose

She is working or owns a company called Karisma Talent Group Inc. I called them in response to an advertisement I saw in the Star and then researched and saw this. On closer scrutiny of their site I saw that it was designed by the Brenn fellow you speak of. If you type the name of their company into Google it will be the first link to show up. Just letting you know in case you were looking for her still.

There's a AD on Yorkregion.com for Kids 2+ and Men and Women needed for TV and Movies. It gives the following phone #: 416/ 221-3829 When you call the number, it comes up as Charisma Talent Agency. I called and left a message. When I did a Google search on Charisma Talent Agency, this website came up. Is this woman connected to this Agency.
