Jennifer Gibson works for Mann Casting and Gloria Mann does work for John Robert Powers, who has been stealing money from people for years.

Now she works for UniversalActingAcademy on Dundas and that is owned byMax talent agency and they are owned by the Zaidi family.

The Zaidi family have been taking the money of people for years. Now that I am checking people are telling me the stories about the Zaidi clan, I will get into that in a minute

What a circle of people. I called the School that Jennifer Gibson works at and I asked the girl who owns the school and she got really rude with me on the phone.

Then started talking about things I didn't even ask about. When I asked her name she hung up on me.

I went on the internet and then called the agency that Jennifer Gibson is on and they hung up on me. I called back and they said she is not a casting director but works for Mann Casting sometimes. Then I called there and they said she doesn't work there but used to work there.

Okay then, this guy says, do you want to know if she is a scam? I said what? And he said well I don't think she is.

I didn't even ask. So I decided to check into it and I called the Max place becauseI have been reading that they own theschool that this JenniferGibson works atand they start getting all defensive.

I went further and found out this:

Gloria Mann owns Mann Casting and her son Stephen works there and he is the one who I spoke to. His Mother does work for J R Powers and they are affiliated with Just Canadian Talent who isrelated tothe people who own Max who is a guy called kamaran zaidi who owns universal Academy Of Acting who goes by two names, Michael D'Marco and Kamaran Zaidi who has Jennifer Gibson teachingat his Acting school but he doesn't tell people he owns it but Jenniferwho also works for Mann Casting who is telling people, mostly the students of this school, she is a big actor and a casting director is really just a actor who has done a couple of things. But Stephen Mann says she is not a casting director that she just used to assist sometimes bringing people in and out of the audition room

I did more checking and now I find out that the Marla Mann Agencyhad been known for ripping people off. Marla Mann was and still is on the no check list on the Actra website due to ripping of talent when she was an agent.

Gloria the mother works for J R powers and her son sits in the office defending all of these people, Now Idon't know what he has done except he is very defensive on the phone and sounds like he should just get out of there.

When I tried to get a hold of the guy at Max who has two names they got all defensive and this girl gets on the phone and starts questioning me who is just trying to find out where everyone is working, it's a public business right, I have a right to know if they are all the same people or what they can do for me.

I am a law student and just wanted to get into the commercial and print part of the business. I was scouted at a Mall with two friends, they went to Max I didn't but said if its good let me know. But they were ripped off for photo's at a really weird place where the photographer said they only work for Max Talent, Thenmy friendswere sent to the Acting School where they said they were going to get courses for free but then they tried to get my friends to pay for more classes when the classes were horrible, my friends have gone to classes before and said she is not very good although she is nice enough, she shouldn't be an acting teacher. That sparked me to start checking in to this, and then the information started flowing.

So from what I can gather there used to be a Julia Kay teaching there.

So I called her and she said she can't talk about anything and doesn't want to get into negative talk? Okay, I said, but are you still teaching there?, she said all she can say is that is she doesn't work there and has nothing to do with any people that are associated with anybody or anything.

I checked into her and she seems like she is a legit casting director, she taught there but nowhas nothing to do with any of them. When I asked her for information she said she had no comment that I would have to call the ActingSchool. I then talked to a few people of face book and they said she was an excellent Acting Teacher.So I called her back and said I am just trying to get information on the school before my friends pay for more classes. She said you will have to call the school, I told her I did and they got rude, she said sorry but I am not associated with any people there. It sounds like she just wants nothing to do with anybody. Wonder Why?

So I called Actra, and they only acknowledge Juliann Kay saying she is a casting director and has been for years.

But anyone else I ask about is as follows:

Max Talent Agency- Not reputable, Just Canadian Talent - Not reputable, Jennifer Gibson - Not a Casting Director and they don't know her to be an acting teacher, Mann Casting they just said they cast but didn't want to say more than that, JR Powers - Not reputable.

Okay that is not the end, then I check into the Zaidi's and they have been known for years to be scammmmmmers. This guy kamaran was up on charges and his brother is a the same his name is hassaine zaidi. I checked on this because my friends see a notice about a criminal investigation on the School Website, not a usual thing so that led me to start checking on this school, which is how I found the Zaidi names now apparently there are more of them and I am still checking.

But I did find out that Hassaine owned a school called Show Biz Academy that his brother kamaran now owns but is now called Unieveral Academy Acting.

I have been on the computer for weeks, not because it affects me but because it's a real circle and it's kind of fun to find out what and who some of these people really are.

I am a law student and very curious about investigating things. I started out wanting to get into the business and now I just want to investigate it.

I do know someone or some people are getting ripped off and that is why I am writing on this site, there are already reports on Max Talent and others on this site so I want to let people know what I am finding out.

Who know's it might save someone's hard earned money. This Kamaran Zaidi has been in the paper but somehow only got probation and his partner did a few years for fraud in the same business, Peter Holub was his partners name.

This guy also owned a modeling agency called, yes you guessed it "Zaidi Models" with his brother Hassaine Zaidi, and they were on a T.V. show called W5 for yes you guessed it again, ripping people off.

There areother's in the Zaidi clan in the city of Torontothat own Talent Agencies only two I can find out other than Max is Just Canadian Talent on Spadina and Moro Talent, Near King and Spadina. Apparently there were more but they shut down and open under other names as soon as they are reported to bescams.

But what I don't understand, YET!!! is why would a casting agency, Mann Casting get themselves involved with the Zaidi's, JR Powers and this Jennifer Gibson if they have a legit casting company. Greed may be the answer but I think it goes further.

I will let you all know as I continue to check into this spider web.
