CEO and Founder
Samuel Mekonnen
When I started out as an actor, I grew frustrated with the endless cycle of sending out postcards and cold emailing agents with no results. The science behind landing agency meetings and navigating the grueling submission process became my mission. This journey led to the birth of Talent Consult LA in 2018.
Through trial and error, I developed a result-driven approach by curating a list of industry connections. In just one week, I scored 8 agency meetings. It felt like I had reinvented fire. The results were undeniable, and I promised myself I would help fellow actors achieve the same success. Gathering a few close friends, we sat around a table – it was almost like a scene from The Godfather. One by one, they secured representation with top SAG-franchised agents. The fuse was lit, and their careers took off.
As a performer, I’ve appeared in feature films, TV episodes, and national commercials. As a personality, I’ve been featured in Entertainment Tonight, attended The Oscars, and appeared in People. I’ve sat in the trenches and had the privilege of attending top-tier representation meetings. Now, I bring all my expertise to the table, helping others achieve their career goals and inspiring the world with their artistry.
I have supported countless actors in reaching their professional milestones. What I’ve learned along the way is that success is never accidental – it’s about having a strategy.
By nature, actors are under continual scrutiny and experience intense pressure to book their next part. Give yourself a round of applause for persisting against all odds and choosing to pursue a career in the arts, even when your loved ones advised you to pursue a safer path.
Artists choose to work with me because I treat their careers with the same passion and dedication I applied to my own. There are no shortcuts to success, but with the right guidance from talent experts who can identify your blind spots, you can reach your goals faster and more effectively.
Here is to living truthfully under imaginary circumstances.
Here is to your success,
