Jesse Malinowski discusses with a talent agency veteran the pitfalls of acting coaching and representation.

Jesse Malinowski sits down with the owner of The Avenue Agency, a 25-year talent agency veteran, who breaks down exactly why agents drop actors, why staying in the same acting class too long gets you passed over, and the true story of a casting team ready to blacklist an actor and go after their agent.
