CLIENT UPDATE May 1, 2011
WATCH TRUE JACKSON on Nickelodeon this week! MATTHEW CORTES has a guest star role on the show as "Mr. Big".... and little bro PETER was on the George Lopez show for the second time this past month. Big Sis ANDREA did a PAC SUN shoot and older bro GABE filmed in a lead role in the A'Ha Production of "Route 128". Visit almost any T-Mobile store and you will see one, two or ALL of the Cortes family members in Store promo boards ... and now Mom has been defnitely booked and the rest of the family "on hold" to shoot another print campaign. In the meantime, Nina also has two commercials airing, "QUAKER OATS" with BIG LOSER Bob and California Lottery. Any other parents ready to step up and audition????
AMY LAWHORN is in Portland, Oregon this week filming with Amanda Seyfried ("Red RIding Hood) in a new feature film, "GONE". In March she booked a week on the show "Big Time Rush", went to wardrobe and then they decided she played too young for the role, so they paid her for the week anyway and hired an older woman... And even though they thought she played too young, she had just booked a Coors beer commercial and you have to be at least 25 for beer commercials.... and Amy is also in another QUAKER OATS commercial with Bob the Big Loser guy.....Love those Quaker Oats.....
Below is on-set shot of MIA FAITH in a Burlington Coat Factory commercial selling dresses to wear under the coats. And Mia is now officially seen at DISNEYLAND as Rapunzel, working only on weekends til she graduates from high school... In the fall she will be at UCLA, one of a very small group of new freshman admitted to the musical theatre program! In the meantime, little sis, CASSIDY MACK, just had her lime green cast removed and is ready for action --- altho she won;t be climbing any more trees for awhile and she decided to wait on Damian's stunt class for awhile.....

Another musical theatre dynamo is MATTHEW GOLDEN whose latest production was the first high school production of "EVITA" at the Van Nuys H.S. Performing Arts Theatre. Matt played the "Elvis" of Argentina, "

MAURA CHANZ is to be congratulated on snagging a very challenging role requiring an accent as an African girl for the lead in an AFI film called, "Bosco's Guitar" -- MICHAEL CHEY has also booked another AFI film, "Time Keeps Ticking On"....
More exciting than this booking for Michael though is the release of "The PERFECT HURL" which he filmed last summer with Stephen Baldwin -- premiere was just last night and Mom says this is definitely Michael's best work.... pics below...


Just remembered that Michael and Kiev have also just booked the same short film --- but one of their moms will need to share the details....
