It has been a pleasure working with the Jess Anderson Talent and Modeling Agency. I have known Jess and Sue since June 2012. They are very real people, super friendly and easy to work with. They have given me great direction and guidance in the modeling and acting industry. I had the awesome opportunity of being cast in the New Fantasyland Disney 2012 grand opening commercial which was an incredible experience. I have been on several other auditions and hope to continue my career working alongside these two amazing professionals. I give them a 5 star rating. They are a great agency!

Since signing my grandson with the Jess Anderson Talent Agency, he has filmed a Fantasyland commercial for Disney and done a music video for the Smokepoint Band. Shortly after, I signed with them and filmed a commercial for Baptist Health in Jacksonville - garnering $400 for 30 minutes work! It's our experience that Jess and Susan do quality work for their clients and are caring about promoting our careers. We've had the pleasure of working with some of the nicest people in the business so far.

Jess and Sue Anderson are true professionals with more than 30 years of experience in the talent and modeling industry. I have been impressed with the opportunities they have presented, both to me and to my granddaughter Karaline. The Andersons consider their clients as family, so the communication and follow-up after call-outs or production shoots is always excellent. Their business network contacts are a huge plus to the models and talent signed with their agency. I highly recommend Jess Anderson Talent and Model Agency.

It has been an amazing experience working with the Jess Anderson Talent and Model Agency. It was only a few weeks from when I became apart of their agency when I booked my first National TV commercial with Disney World. The experience on set was a big learning and fun experience for me. This agency not only believes in your dreams, but they do everything they can to get you a step closer with each audition. I look forward to doing more with the Jess Anderson Talent and Model Agency. I give them 5 stars!!!

It has been a pleasure working with Jess Anderson Talent and Model Agency. Although I have only known Jess and Susie since mid June, I feel like I have known them longer. They are not only super sweet, friendly and easy to work with, but they are also very supportive and knowledgeable with over 30 year's experience! Jess and Susie have also given me great direction and guidance from the beginning and helped me along as I have continued to grow in my professional modeling and acting career. They are always looking out for my best interest as I continue to pursue my dreams. Just this past week I had the extraordinary opportunity of being cast in a Disney World national TV commercial. This experience was incredible and I had so much fun on the set that I can not stop talking about it. Sue and Jess know exactly how to match the right jobs for each individual talent's personality. It is great to be able to work alongside professionals and learn and grow from them is just amazing. These two make a great team and I give them a 5 star rating. They are a great Agency!

Jess and Susan are the absolute in the business. My 7 year old signed on with them and filmed a Disney commercial less than 3 weeks later. They are always there for you anytime day or night. I love them like family. If you want to do something great with your life just join their agency.

I took my grandchildren to the Jess Anderson Talent and Modeling Agency this past summer. They were talked to and treated with respect and encouragement. My granddaughter just went to Disney Animal Kingdom to do a video shoot and she had a wonderful time. Jess and Susan have always answered e-mails and have been very professional in their approach. I would highly recommend their agency. If I were to give a rating, it would have to be the highest available.

Since signing up with Jess Anderson back in June, my 12 year old daughter Brooke has been casted for a Disney commercial. I am very pleased with how Jess and Susan treat their clients like family. They take the effort to call after every booking, to see how well the commercial went and if they can assist with anything to have any questions. They are always there for their clients. I had my daughters pictures taken by another agency back in January, that was not a good experience for either of us! When I found Jess Anderson Talent and Model Agency, they were very professional and considerate of my efforts, and took more pictures of my daughter, which were absolutely gorgeous. I feel mu daughter is going to reach her goal as a model being with Jess and Susan. I can only hope to continue with Jess Anderson for a lot for years to come. They are very experience and have been in this business for over 30 years, and have the background to prove it.

Being new to the modeling/ acting scene, I was lucky to land my first role within a few weeks of signing with the Jess Anderson Model and Talent Agency. Jess and Susan, having been in the business for over 30 years, are extraordinary mentors who gave me the confidence to forge into the modeling and talent industry. I appreciate every piece of advice they have provided and am so glad I decided to try my luck. I highly recommend Jess and Susan Anderson and their expertise to everyone interested in pursuing any level of modeling or talent career. Being a part if the "Mr. George" film (life story of the owner of Publix.. George Jenkins) was a blast!

I have been with the Jess Anderson Talent and Model Agency since 2006. Since then, I have been booked on lots of paying jobs. They really take the time to hand select me for the jobs that really fit my talent. I usually get booked on the auditions that I go on because they do not send me If I am not just right for the part. They really know and understand this business. Jess and Susan are always very positive and very upbeat and I always am left feeling really good about myself after talking to them. They are truly a great team to work for and be involved with. I give Jess Anderson Talent and Model Agency a 5 star rating!

We all spent as much time on set as possible and didn't just wait in the background for them to call us out. I thought it was cool that by the end of the day, the cast, crew and directors were calling me by name so I know I made a positive impression on them. Again, thank you guys for the opportunity, and I know we all can't wait to see the finished result!

With Jess it's not a guessing game. If he has something for you he books you on it. They also can give great advice if you ever get cold feet or you just need more guidance and direction. So again five stars and bravo to the Jess Anderson Modeling and Talent Agency.

I spoke with a lot of agencies in Florida before speaking with Jess and Susan. After speaking on the phone I knew this company was right for me. I got a great set of head shots. It's easy to see that Susan has been in the modeling industry a long time. Jess was able to get me on the set of Burn Notice in just a few weeks. He didn't make any false promises, only the promise to do his best. I feel my career is off to a great kick start.

Going into this business not knowing much, I have been very comforted by their sweet personalities and professional attitudes and I highly recommend them. Just days after I signed with the agency, they set me up with great opportunities! In the past two weeks, I was cast on a new film; An Act of God, and it was an amazing experience. I got to work with well known actors and actresses and I could not have done it without the help of the Jess Anderson Talent and Modeling Agency! A 5 star rating for this wonderful agency!

The Jess Anderson Agency is much more than highly reputable, successful, and credible agency, Jess and Susie treat their talent as family. With over 20 years in the business, there is no doubt that Jess and Susie know exactly what they're doing to best market your talent and to get you working with some of the biggest names in the business. They are exceptionally supportive, knowledgeable, and eager to help you achieve your dreams and help you along the way. Since I joined Jess Anderson, I have worked with Publix Supermarkets on major print work and training films for $450.oo and have even appeared on the national hit television show "Burn Notice". I am genuinely impressed with just how professional and hard Jess and Susie work to find opportunities for me to further my career in acting and entertainment. Signing with Jess Anderson is the best thing I ever did for my acting career and helped to turn my dreams into a reality.

I have been with the Jess Anderson Talent and Model Agency for almost ten years. In that time I have accomplished so much in my acting career that I never imagined possible. From working on National TV Commercials such as Marriot, Adidas, Care Plus Health Insurance and recently finished a Print Ad and Training Film for Publix Supermarkets. One of the Highlights of my movie career was working on the John Travolta movie The Punisher which I have Jess and Susan Anderson to thank for many of the connections I have made in my film and theatre career. I truly am honored for every job and audition i have ever gone to. There is no greater excitement than when I see Jess Anderson on my caller ID. Jess and Susan give me the opportunities to succeed and live a dream that few have chased. I give them 5 stars.

My children and I have been with the Jess Anderson Talent and Model Agency for years. We have had the opportunity to go on many auditions, it was a great experience for us. My son and I were in a Geico commercial and were paid $450 each plus an additional $50 for letting them us my van in the commercial. Not bad for 4 hours of work. I also received a part in a firefighter documentary that paid $400 a day. This business is very competitive, you never know what they are looking for, just keep going for your drams I know we have! I give Jess Anderson Talent and Model Agency a 5 star rating.

I love love love Jess Anderson Talent and Model Agency! I had no experience before I cam to them, I was already and adult, and I didn't know where to start. Jess and Susan were so welcoming and within a month, I had my first booking. I was only 1 of 4 girls in the entire county picked to model for Big Sexy Hair! $125 for less than four hours, it was so m uch fun and it didn't feel like work. Then, shortly after that I was booked in a Finland Lottery commercial at a theme park, I rode rides and got paid for it!! I would highly recommend anyone looking to start or expand their careers in modeling to go to Jess Anderson Talent and Model Agency. I give them 5 stars!
