James Berry and Richard James Porter have recently been asked to audition for a role in a film in New York City. Both men are over the age of 55, but they are finding success in a difficult profession with help from One Source Talent. Berry and Porter are just the latest examples posted on Dec. 14 of success stories from the agency. One Source Talent helps connect clients with talent through a large database and constant updates.
The acting and modeling industries tend to be viewed as some of the most difficult areas of finding true success. With high competition and constantly changing trends, it is often had to find consistent work. Previous data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics found that only 1,660 people were listed as professional models. More recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics reveals that only 66,500 people were full-time actors in 2010. The numbers may seem discouraging, but a strong support network can make a real difference in landing jobs. One Source Talent focuses on finding the best fit for each individual based on talents and abilities.
Statistics are only one aspect that needs to be considered because success stories continue to fill the news. Heidi Agan was working as a waitress before taking advantage of her remarkable resemblance to Kate Middleton to begin a new career as an impersonator. She now makes more than $1,000 per day for public appearances and can spend more time with her daughter. She has even appeared on “Good Morning America.” Her story is a perfect example of how talent can take many forms and can be turned into a successful career.
Since 2003, One Source Talent (OST) has been helping people find work in the fashion and acting sectors. The company has built a large database that serves as a pool of applicants for potential jobs. However, OST is quick to point out that no one is treated like a number because each applicant and client is carefully selected. The company also keeps a constantly updated database of work to help connect applicants to the right jobs.
James Berry and Richard James Porter may be the most recent examples of success stories from One Source Talent, but they are not the only applicants who have found work through the company. Jeff Guyer received the lead role on “Nightmare Next Door” this month and spent three days shooting footage for the Discovery channel. Frank Ciccolo earned a role in the upcoming film “Red Head Randy” about bullying, and Chuck Ferrell won the role in the film “Ride Along.” OST has also shared that success stories are not limited to adults. Justin Merrell has appeared in multiple commercials and was selected for a Super Bowl ad. One Source Talent continues to collect these stories to show that it is possible to find work in these difficult industries.
