Hi All,

I'm so glad now I didn't attend an audition with his so-called colleague Ann Messenger. I now suspect she did not exist, it was just him.

When I applied to his Mandy casting he said his colleague was looking for actresses for a Triple Information: Date Drug Rape etc. video. This so called 'Ann' even asked under 18 year olds to get permission from their parents! Shocking!

I was notified that the audition was at Gatwick but decided not to go in the end as it sounded too uncomfortable. Now I realise how lucky I am!

I got sent that regarding " ann messenger" as well. It was clearly such a set up.
I didnt ever apply for either project though, they contacted me after seeing my profile somewhere. Which means presumably that he just searched for young looking southern based actresses presumably?

awful

You're right Kimberley, how terrible. I've emailed Mandy about his 'Ann Messenger' scam now in case it will help the police.

Just so everyone is aware, this man has been arrested and Equity have been informed of his actions. If you see anymore 'auditions', DO NOT ATTEND, it's all a complete scam. Warn everyone that you know about Julian Grainger or Sinclair Studios, it is not legitimate at all.

Under Equity guidelines nudity is allowed in an audition, but you always always should have at least 2 other people in the room, and absolutely no touching is allowed at all, and if anyone ever experiences something like this, call the police. Just personal advice!! Your safety is the most important thing.
