The most complex episode of The 98% yet…an armchair investigation into 'Lucy Harrison Casting' - a talent agency accused of withheld pay, suspicious business practices, and questionable identities. With an informed eye, sharpened by her involvement in exposing the Bodhi Talent scandal in 2024, Alexa presents a deep-dive into concerns regarding this agency, based on first-hand accounts and publicly available records.
This episode explores how an unregulated industry leaves actors vulnerable, and why more accountability, protection, and proactive safeguarding is urgently needed. This is not an attack on anyone - it's a resource that all can actors can learn from.
