After many summer acting camps, school and community theater productions, and a strong passion for performing, Chandler had the opportunity to attend Talent, Inc. with Acting Out Studio when he was 11yrs.  He prepared for many months with AOS working on his craft and honing his skills.  Chandler loved his time at Talent Inc. attending the many classes offered to continue learning about acting in TV and Film.  He especially loved performing his monologue, improv and film scene.  Upon completion of the incredible workshops and all of the performances at Talent Inc, Chandler was awarded the Gold acting award in his age group.  That evening was one we will never forget.  It was such a wonderful honor to be amongst so many talented children and be recognized for his hard work and talent.

After many invitations to meet with talent agents and managers at Talent, Inc., we were soon on our way to Atlanta, New York and Los Angeles for follow up meetings.  We developed a great team, decided to try out pilot season in LA and we ended up staying there!  Chandler has been so fortunate to have incredible opportunities and has starred in two short films – Cold Embrace and Piano Lessons, tv shows like Shameless, S.W.A.T., Blackish, PEN15, Just My Luck, tv commercials and more.  He also performed a live comedy routine at the famed Feinstein’s at Vitello’s in Studio City, CA.  He is currently working in Toronto on a Warner Bros. feature film, 8-Bit Christmas, to be released later this year.

We are incredibly thankful for Acting Out Studio, Kamber Hejlik and Talent Inc. for helping us navigate this acting journey.

Dreams do come true!

Brogan attended Talent Inc. with Acting Out Studio when he was just 5 years old and won Overall Child Actor.  We had no experience in the entertainment business and had no idea what to expect. We were thrilled to see the guidance & education, the positive energy & encouragement through the entire program. The journey to prepare for Talent, Inc. included hands on training for stage presence, acting for the camera, character development, script analysis and so much more.  At the event itself, we had the opportunity to attend parent education sessions to learn more about the business and can remember the anticipation of watching the kids perform monologues, commercials and showcase their talents as if was yesterday. Brogan had the time of his life but little did we know what lied ahead. Because of Talent, Inc., he has representation in North Carolina, Georgia & California and has starred in seven movies (two set to release in 2019), two TV shows and a dozen commercials. He has worked on films with Michael C Hall, Don Johnson, the late Sam Shepard, Ansel Elgort, Jamie Foxx, John Hamm, John McGinley and Garret Dillahunt. He has sung our National Anthem at most every amateur and pro sporting event in Charlotte including the Panthers!  He has appeared on Fox News several times. Brogan takes voice, acting and dance lessons to stay focused on his craft and absolutely LOVES the opportunities he’s been afforded following his experience at Talent Inc.!! Thank you Talent Inc. for preparing us so well and for opening the door!

Brogan landed a lead role in the film “Cold in July” starring opposite Michael C. Hall, Sam Shepard and Vinessa Shaw when he was 6 years old. His short stature has enabled him to be cast to play much younger roles in his career. The short film, The Hideout, which he played a lead role, swept the SonScreen Film Festival, taking home Best Dramatic Short, Best Cinematography, Audience Choice Award and Best in Fest. His other theatrical work includes a lead role in “Rounding Third”, a lead role in “Ernie and Cerbie” and a supporting role in the hit “Baby Driver” starring opposite Ansel Elgort and Kevin Spacey.

In addition to acting, Brogan is an avid singer and dancer. He has performed the National Anthem at the UNC Charlotte 49ers, the Charlotte Hornets, the Charlotte Knights and in the fall the Carolina Panthers. He has taken tap dancing lessons since he was 4 years old and hip hop since he was 8.

Thank you to Acting Out Studio for the coaching and of course the amazing Talent Inc. Griffin has been working on The Week Of Adam Sandler’s new Netflix feature.  He was cast as Jeddy and has had the good fortune to work alongside Adam, Chris Rock and Steve Buscemi — and too many other amazing cast members to even mention!! Recently just got to work with Ralph Macchio as his on-screen son in eight episodes of Cobra Kai with talks of expanding his role in upcoming seasons.  If it weren’t for ACTING OUT and Talent Inc., Griffin may not have had this chance to live out his dream this summer. We have moved out of Charlotte and are back up in CT – right outside of NYC. I just wanted to thank you for encouraging Max and Griffin to do the Talent Inc. program and being a part of Acting Out Studio. As a parent, I am incredible grateful for his preparation by Kamber and his experience at Talent Inc.

Acting Out Studio helped make my daughter’s dream become a reality. Not only does she receive exceptional training from incredible talented teachers, she is provided opportunities to shoot for the stars and go for her dream. A little skeptical going in, Abby attended Talent Inc…it was the best decision we have ever made for her. She signed with 2 agents and a manger. She was on her way to living her dream. Thank you AOS and Talent Inc. for making Abby’s dreams come true. I highly recommend AOS & Talent Inc. to anyone looking for the best acting/modeling/voice training in NC and Talent Inc. for those who are ready to take it to the next level!

While Carrington had recently signed with a local agency and was already doing a fair amount of print work, we made the decision that we wanted to explore the acting side of things. We went to our first Talent Inc. in March 2018 and met with numerous agents from NY and LA. She is now signed with The Savage Agency in LA and deciding between several NY agents. Talent Inc. was a great experience for us as we were looking to get our foot in the door and network with others in the industry. Mission accomplished. We are headed out to LA & NY for the summer, wish us luck!
