  • you are asked to fill out forms with important contact information. If you don’t follow the directions, the agency may not be able to contact you when they have a job for you because you didn’t fill the form out properly. We have had a number of people send in a payment along with their headshot and resume to be posted in the StarSearchCasting.com online talent database and they did not read the directions. We weren’t able to put them on until we sent them a listing agreement to fill out. The directions tell you to print out the agreement, complete it and mail it back with the other materials, but because we are all in a hurry, some people don’t read the instructions.
  • One of the most important reasons to read and understand instructions is because you will probably sign many agreements, disclaimers, and releases in your career. If you don’t take the time to read and understand what it is that you are signing, you could end up in a lot of trouble. You may sign away important rights or sign away most of the money that you will earn or give creative control of your career. If you intend to have a prosperous career, you will need to handle it with care. Take the time to read and follow directions in life and it will make life a lot easier.

    Eminent Domain Reform
    To Be
    Introduced in U.S.
    House of Representatives

    Property Owners Still Left Unprotected from
    Federally Funded
    Abuses Two Years After Kelo




    Arlington, Va. - July 12, Representatives Maxine
    Waters (D-CA) and F. James Sensenbrenner (R-WI) introduced the Private Property
    Rights Protection Act of 2007 to stop taxpayer funding of eminent domain abuse.
    This bipartisan bill would counter the effects of the U.S. Supreme Court's
    infamous decision in Kelo v. City of New London, which allows governments
    to use eminent domain to seize private property on behalf of private developers
    in hopes of increasing tax revenue. The Act would deny for two fiscal years
    economic development funds to state and local governments that use eminent
    domain for private development.


    In 2005, the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed H.R. 4128,
    the Private Property Rights Protection Act of 2005, by a vote of 376 to 38. The
    bill was co-sponsored by representatives from across the political and
    ideological spectrum, including Representatives Waters, Sensenbrenner, John
    Conyers Jr. (D-MI), and Henry Bonilla (R-TX). Despite unprecedented bipartisan
    political and public support, the bill languished in the Senate Judiciary
    Committee and ultimately died.


    "Federal protections from eminent domain abuse are long overdue," said Bert
    Gall, a senior attorney at the Institute for Justice, which argued the
    Kelo case on behalf of the homeowners. IJ and the Castle Coalition - a
    nationwide grassroots organization of property owners and activists dedicated to
    stopping eminent domain abuse - have led the fight to reform state and federal
    eminent domain laws. "Even though the vast majority of Americans oppose the
    abuse of eminent domain for private development, the federal government still
    funds that abuse."


    June 23 marked the two-year anniversary of the Kelo decision. In every
    poll since that ruling, the public is overwhelmingly against eminent domain for
    private use. Forty-two states have passed eminent domain reforms reining in the
    Kelo decision, including 10 states where voters passed ballot measures by wide
    margins in last year's elections.


    But many of those reforms
