I believe their home office is in Mangum, or Hobart, Ok.

Good luck

They are not an agency so they cannot get you jobs in commercials or movies. They would need to be a licensed talent agent in your state and you would need to have a signed contract with them before they would be able to send you out on any jobs. They aren’t licensed talent agencies.

This is how they get people into their classes - by calling them auditions rather than being honest and saying upfront they are a school and everyone who has $2000+ to pay can take their classes.

Don’t believe me - Chris Hansen did a whole Dateline show about them. Read the entire transcript and be sure to watch the videos on both pages

They even sent in a reporter undercover for an "audition"

"Our associate producer is asked to do an acting audition and deliberately struggles through her lines for a hypothetical TV commercial.
She wasn’t exactly next year’s Oscar winner. Still, the very next day she gets a call. And she’s told she got all 10s in acting and that’s the highest they score."

Don’t believe me?

BARBIZON was exposed by Dateline’s Chris Hansen as being scammy! They sent someone who intentionally was a bad actress and she got a perfect score and accepted to Barbizon. Scam O’RAMA! DOCUMENTATION BEATS CONVERSATION!

DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!

Barbizon, John Robert Powers, and John Casablancas are all SCAMS! They are NOT agencies! They MISLEAD people into thinking that they are, but are NOT. LEGIT Agencies only make money when you do (10% for film/tv and commercials, 20% for commercial print). REAL AGENTS DON’T take $2000 upfront and DON’T make you take their subpar classes. YES! You’ll be paying at least $2000 for crappy classes!

A school for modeling is the biggest scam, period! When you get picked up by a LEGIT agency like Ford or Elite, they will teach you or hire coaches. They’re not going to reject your resume because "oh, you don’t have any modeling classes."

If you don’t think they’re scams, then go waste thousands of dollars that could go towards good headshots and training from the BEST schools (JRP, JC, and Barb. are NOT the best!) Also, go to a major market like L.A. or N.Y. with those schools on your resume. You’ll get LAUGHED out!

Schools like Barbizon, JRP, and JC still exist because there are a lot of suckers trying to get into acting and for the money. They think that going to one school will be the answer and it’s not. It’s these schools that give them and feed off of those false promises. For every 100 people that go through these scammy schools and lose their money, there will always be that naturally talented kid that gets work and that these scammy schools take credit for.

JRP-Banks on the name of a very famous and DEAD agent. They say that Lucille Ball, John Wayne, Barbara Walters, Heather Locklear, Peter Fonda, Jane Fonda, and many other famous actors went to the school, when NONE of them did! Some of those celebs even threatened legal action for using their names. So you see, they use bait and switch tactics.

John Casablancas-The franchises have been known for unethical business practices and really have nothing to do with the founder’s original intentions.

Barbizon-It was popular back in the 70s and 80s. Now these franchises have been known for unethical business practices and false promises.

These schools are OVERPRICED and DON’T provide the caliber training that more affordable and REPUTABLE schools like Howard Fine Studios, Ivanna Chubbuck, Groundlings, Second City, Beverly Hills Playhouse, Stella Adler, William Esper Studios, Tom Todoroff, Joanne Baron/D.W. Brown, Margie Haber, etc. do.

Go look those schools up! They are all respected by the industry and LEGIT!
