JT does mostly low level promotions. Think "Robert Paris Red Carpet Monday's at Cotton" kind of thing. He's had a few placements in B movies, but nothing you couldn't get on your own through craigslist.

Edited to add
I just followed that link to the Yahoo group. I knew JT not real well, but well enough to doubt that he is posting there. Whoever claims to be JT does not sound like the JT I talked to and saw at his promotions. Maybe things have changed since I left NY, but that whole thread strikes me as bogus. Some promoters will do that kind of underhanded crap, pretending to be the other guy to ruin his reputation.

But that doesn't change my original recommendation.

Is there anything specific you'd like to know? My earlier post was from personal experience.

Uh, oh. That's a bad sign.

When someone is cool, people post about them in public and say good things about them for all to see.

When someone asks to be emailed privately ... usually not so good ...

I answered an add on Craigs List and it turned out to have been posted by them.  They wantedme to go to the go-see and if I got the job, pay them a 20% commission. For posting an ad on CL?  Sounds many kinds of wrong.  The ad gave no indication that it wasn't the client posting and I don't doubt that EVERYONE who answered was sent to the casting.

Is this the same JT from JT Model Associates?  Because I have been contacted by them before - I could show you that email if you'd like...
