I was recently a paid member of Integrity Casting. I did not learn until after I paid, that I did not need to pay. I learned this from Steve Clinton of the NV SAG branch, he is the executive director.
I have also learned some other key and interesting facts about this company and its owner Toni Suttie. Here are the facts and items Ive been told about this company:
Toni Suttie charges $2500.00 for a Mentee Program informing parents that she will get your child in front of Inside Hollywood Industry leaders, get you or your child in front of major productions. I was told directly by Toni Suttie that there was a fashion show put on by the American Cancer Society, however when I became involved as a model as well as ending up being one of the event coordinators through my Wedding and Event company, I learned it had nothing to do at all with the American Cancer Society. I have an email to prove this. I was also told in the beginning this would be paid. Then I received an email stating wed get a gift basket. When I had an audition for a video game with Toni Suttie, I asked her about the gift basket. She gloated that it was a nice $150 gift basket. I received a burlap bag with a sample of a hair conditioner it it. I was recently told by Toni Suttie that there was a feature movie with Johnny Depp that she was casting for that would audition in Reno in November. One of her Mentees told me that Toni had even taken a dinner meeting with someone from the Depp film crew. After speaking with Steve Clinton, executive director of the NV SAG branch, he looked into this himself, made some calls and was told by Donavan, the Theatrical Contracts front man at the L.A. SAG office, that there was no such production being auditioned for any Johnny Depp movie in Reno at any time. I learned it was a total lie. I was told of a photo shoot being done at the farm league team Reno Aces this past Saturday and they wanted my 6 year old for the shoot. We were told by Toni there was no pay, however, when we arrived on location at the ball park, I learned from other parents and adult actors that this was a paid gig. My child did not get paid. I have heard from some Integrity Casting talent that they had not gotten paid for previous work that is still outstanding to them.
I was told Toni Suttie at one point had a credit from George Lucas films on her IMDB and website, however, was forced by I assume the legal team for Lucas films to take it down immediately. They have never heard of nor worked with Toni Suttie. At my audition for the video game last week at Integrity Casting, I was told by Toni Suttie that a prop, (severed bloody arm), was a Lucas prop department prop. I called Lucas Films yesterday and they have never heard of this woman or her company either.
