"Landing in LA in 2013 we discovered agents & managers are busy and really didn't have the time to give the hand-holding type guidance and instruction we needed to be successful.
We learned that you need credits (bookings) to get credits - not to mention the experience of being on a smaller set before a bigger set. So I was left with no choice but to take matters in my own hands. I had my first Hollywood project, my son!
I was faced with 2 choices 1- figure out how to get auditions or 2 - pack it up and go back home."
"We naively thought that once we landed the agent and manager that all the doors would open with endless auditions."

"This is my son Reid Miller now, but starting at 13 he had no real acting experience, but he was driven and so was I. Since we landed in Los Angeles, Reid has since had the great pleasure of working with people like Mark Wahlberg, Connie Britton, Alyssa Milano, Gary Sinise, Jake Gyllenhaal, Reinaldo Marcus Green, Maxwell Jenkins, Bill Paxton, Joe Mantegna, Frances Fisher, Michael Shannon, Lana Condor, and the list goes on! We work together as a team and we are always learning new things even after many years, a career changes and evolves; there are always new scenarios and new challenges at every level.
Through much research, trial and error, self-submissions, hundreds of hours of classes and a lot of determination I helped him get his first 18 IMDb credits and almost 30 jobs including commercial and print bookings."
