Click Model Management, Inc. Was founded in 1980 by Frances Grill, Joey Grill and Allan Mindel.
Allan has a criminal past dating back to his days in real estate back in the 1970s. He is a convicted felon who served 2 years in a minimum security prison for wire fraud.
Basically having people wire money for property that was little more than a swamp. The old I can get ya a great deal on some waterfront property in Florida scam. Because the wire took place out of state, it was a felony and couldve put him away a lot longer. He pleaded guilty.
Since 1986, Flick Talents based in Los Angeles was formed in order to provide a broader range and greater service to our models in the fields of acting and television commercials.in 1995, Framework Entertainment, a bi-coastal theatrical management company was formed in order to handle the personal management needs of other talents in the television and theatrical industry.
Basically these are all more scams from Allan and company to rip actors off. Unlike legitimate talent agencies that are licensed by the state of California, because they call themselves a management company they can illegally take more than the mandated 10% commission.
They wont try this in New York because of the huge class action against a few of the top agencies.
So Allan runs the west coast acting side (behind the scenes and very quietly because California doesnt look kindly on convicted felons running talent companies) and can happily rip off actors at higher commissions than allowed for agencies.
