Is Your Agent Playing Both Sides? Here's What You Need to Know

Could your agent be getting paid twice - once by you, and once by the studio - without telling you?

Some agents “double dip,” taking a cut from both the actor and the production company for the same job. That can lead to conflicts of interest, shady behavior, and even break union rules.

Knowing how to spot this tactic early can save you money and stress - and help you find reps who truly have your back.


In this episode, you'll discover:

  • How to tell if your agent might be loyal to the studio instead of you
  • What to look for in your contract before signing anything
  • The one simple question that reveals how your agent really gets paid

Play this episode now to learn how to protect yourself and keep your career in trustworthy hands.
