Talent: Just Say ‘No’!
Had a bit of a turn the other day. A bright-eyed, budding young thespian showed me the contract an agent had asked them to sign. Bloody outrageous. Really pissed me off. (No – not asking me to read the thing, you prune – the terms cunningly concealed in it!) The contract wanted a sole and […]
