Are there any costs or fees to enroll with Mollo Management?

The answer to this is an emphatic NO. It should always be your first question when determining whether or not a talent representative is legitimate. There are some companies that charge "developmental fees." (Most often for photos, classes or showcases).  The cost of these services are usually over-priced.  Traveling to and from Manhattan for auditions should be your primary expense.

Who is eligible for representation by Mollo Management?

Mollo Management, Inc. is a New York-based company specializing in young actors.  We accept submissions from talent throughout New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. 

How does Mollo Management get paid?

Upon booking a job, agents and managers receive a commission from your earnings. Agents take 10% commission for legit work (i.e. television, film and commercials). Our fee is 15%. Commission for print work (modeling) varies.

Is Mollo Management an agency?

No. We are a management company. There is a difference. If you choose to sign exclusively with an agency, you are not allowed to receive auditions from other agencies. When you sign with a manager, you work with many agencies through that management company, therefore increasing your number of auditions. And that is the key to finding work.

In order to be submitted for film and television projects - 8x10 headshots are required for actors four years old and above.  Once you are selected for representation, we will recommend reputable photographers in your price range.

Yes. We work exclusively with all of our clients. We do not allow anyone we represent to work with other companies without our permission. We do make some exceptions but you MUST notify us first of the circumstances so that we can establish the terms. If you do not comply with this condition, you will be eliminated from our roster.

Should I join the Actors Union?

The three primary unions we recommend to our experienced clients are the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) and Actors Equity Association (AEA). In all cases, we recommend you join when you are required to do so.  The goal of every actor is to eventually work on union-affiliated jobs, but it is not necessary if you are relatively new to the business.
