Also, we prefer ONE of four hair colors - blonde, brown, black or red.") Except, according to one of his clients, it's a scam. What his agency does, it appears, is simply copy publicly listed casting calls and paste them into emails which he sends out to his clients—mostly young girls. Then he charges his "clients" a large commission for hooking them up with the role.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A 19-year-old girl realized what was going on and sent a "reply all" message to one of his all-client emails last week, telling them they would be better off just cutting out Page and auditioning for these roles themselves. Shortly after the girl—who I will call "Rebecca"—and her friend received a sprawling email from Page. Subject: "Your options: APOLOGIZE/SETTLE/GET SUED"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fark.com/cgi/comments.pl?IDLink=5463318"&gt;The FARK thread&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This guy is a complete douchenozzle and deserves every bit of shame there is in the world. Now, I wouldn't call him the &lt;i&gt;worst&lt;/i&gt; man in the world, simply because I'm sure there's a few violent dictators out there slaughtering and raping their own people, but excluding those folks he's pretty slimy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Edit:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://johnfitzgeraldpage.com/default.aspx"&gt;His site&lt;/a&gt; is like a vortex of douchebaggery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=platedlizard&amp;ditemid=659" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
