Max Agency Talent Spotlight, Success Story

Showcase Saturday – Dorrel B!

Welcome back to Showcase Saturday here at Max Agency —  a successful Toronto talent management agency in Canada representing men, women and children.

This week we will be featuring the hardworking and driven, Dorrel B!

An introduction to Dorrel:

“I am Jamaican by birth but now I am living in Canada, soon to receive my citizenship. Prior to moving to Canada, I have lived in America for several years and for a short while in England. I am a Paralegal and major in business, corporate and immigration law.”

How he got involved in modelling/acting:

“I always thought modelling/acting was for much younger people, like people in their twenties or early thirties. I never thought anyone forty or over would be accepted into the industry, but my wife Arlene and my sister Sharon kept telling me to give it a try. My wife one day jokingly submitted my application to a few modelling agencies and sure enough in less than 30 minutes the phone kept ringing (smile) from a few agencies but I chose Max Agency and the rest is history.”

His experience with MAX so far:

“I must say my experience working with Max has been pretty awesome and wonderful. I have learned so much about the industry through Max and I am very grateful and really appreciate the experience.

I was booked to participate in shooting the Jessie Reyes music video “Body Count”, this was not my first video shoot, but it was “awesome” and remains to date my most memorable experience on a shoot.”

Watch the video below:

How Dorrel spends his free time:

“I love the outdoors, I mean I am a literal fanatic for wild life, water, trees, visiting parks, hiking, swimming, hitting the gym and going to the movies. I love to read (non-fictions) and very eclectic when it comes to music.”

Best advice for someone starting in the industry?

“I have seen, heard and learned a lot from working in the modelling /acting industry so far and my word of advice to anyone in the business or planning on coming into the business is don’t take anything said or done at auditions or on set personal. Once you have learned to master that art then you are on your way to success.”

Final thoughts:

“You are never too old or too young to discover the wealth of talent and skills that you have. Don’t judge yourself base on race, ethnicity or colour, just believe in yourself and God and just do you…the modelling/ acting world awaits your arrival.”

These are truly wise words from Dorrel! Some of our most successful talent are over 30 or over 50 even! Dont let age scare you from pursuing modelling or acting if that is something you are considering taking up.

Showcase Saturday – Lacey G.!

Welcome back to Showcase Saturday here at Max Agency —  a successful Toronto talent management agency in Canada representing men, women and children.

This week we will be featuring the lovely and confident, Lacey G!

An introduction to Lacey:

“I am Mohawk Nation and Turtle Clan, currently living in
Brantford and originally from Six Nations. I am 35 years old.”

How she got involved with modelling/acting:

“I started modelling at the age of 6 with Jenica Tanner modelling agency until I was 13. I have now decided to return to the modelling industry to try and pick up where I had left off, hoping to one day be able to give back to my Aboriginal community.”

How she spends her spare time:

“I spend a lot of my time creating dreamcatchers and other aboriginal crafts, and being with my 4 daughters. Im extremely versatile with different styles and looks and am up for anything unique and interesting. Im not exactly a feminine kinda girl, more of a tomboy at times and didnt think modelling could go anywhere with someone like me.”

Best advice for someone in the industry:

“When I attended acting class I was very nervous and felt out of place and couldnt figure out why? I was told to always be yourself and dont try and be something you are not or what you think is expected. On my last day of class, I showed up as me. When the instructor came in he looked at me and said, Thats different. I said What you saw before was different, this is me. And to my surprise he said And thats exactly how you are supposed to be.

I had more confidence and felt a lot better as me. So the best advice is to be yourself and dont worry about what people want or expect. If they dont like it, so what? Youre perfect the way you are and should be proud of it.”

We could not say it better ourselves! In order to be successful, you must be yourself and avoid trying to be something youre not!

Max Agency Talent Spotlight

Showcase Saturday – Vail K!

Welcome back to Showcase Saturday here at Max Agency — one of the top Toronto modeling agencies in Canada representing men, women and children.

This week we will be featuring the lovely and driven, Vail K.!

Vail was born and raised in Orangeville, Ontario. Her friends would describe her as funny, quirky and smart.

Ever since she was young, Vail never really felt like she was good at anything in particular, even though she would try sport after sport. From a young age, she knew that she didnt want a regular 9 to 5 job like everyone else.

She wanted to do something she was good as and that she enjoyed doing. Vail excelled in drama class and would even get annoyed when her classmates did not take the plays seriously. That is why she decided to pursue acting professionally by signing with MAX.

Vail spends most of her time working her part-time job and still attending her last year of secondary school. During her free time, she likes to be with her friends and family.

She is hoping her time comes soon to begin working and experiencing more of the acting and modeling world!

If you would like to hire Vail or one of our other talents for your upcoming project, get in touch with us today: http://www.maxagency.com/contact.php
