I worked for Flashcast ( http://www.fabulousflashcast.com ) almost ten years ago and I'm shocked by the fact that they are still in business. We were told to lie to potential clients and when they were called back because their child was 'cute' (ALL WERE CALLED BACK!), the head 'Casting Director' would tell the parents that they were auditioning for Huggies, Pampers, and other well-known companies even though they were not. They named off almost the same companies to parents at every audition and there were four auditions a week. No child (member) got a job during the three months I worked there and only a few went on auditions. We were told to tell parents that we were members of the BBB. Carl likes to sue people who attempt to expose him.

I went to work for another company in the building and Carl hired a private investigator to act as though she was a parent (she had a stroller with no child) and wanted to get information about Flashcaast. After being followed by this woman all morning I decided to have some fun with Carl and tell her exactly what Flashcast was about. Carl then sued me and several individuals as well as companies in the building for emotional distress, slander and some other crap. I won when I told his lawyer, Neville Johnson, that I couldn't wait to go to trial and expose Carl. Sue me again Carl. That was fun.

If you have been scammed by this guy you should contact Los Angeles Deputy City Attorney Mark Lambert at (213) 978-8070. He is currently building another case against this place.

I take offense to that. I am a real person and only posted once. My son has booked jobs through the agency we chose after the agencies contacted us and we met with four of them. However, in hindsight, I do believe they'll take anybodys' cash and have misleading practices but YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY THEM. Just walk out! It's up to the parents to do a lot of work to send the emails and photos, and then follow up with the agents if they call back and want a look. What you're paying for is a "front of the list" pass at agencies that book kids. If the agent doesn't like you or doesn't like your kids look - they're not going to be interested. What control does Flashcast have over that?
