About Us
A Century of Launching Stars
In 1923, John Robert Powers founded the world’s first modeling agency and changed the entertainment industry forever. His approach? Simple but revolutionary: every person has star potential when they learn to be their most natural, confident self.
Be Yourself. Be Natural. Be Your Best
That philosophy still powers everything we do at JRP. From personality development to professional training in acting, modeling, and on-camera confidence, our programs help talent shine on stage, on screen, and in life.
The Original Launchpad for Legends
We’ve worked with iconic names like: Jackie Kennedy, Grace Kelly, Cary Grant, Diana Ross, Lucille Ball, and Henry Fonda. And modern stars too: Josh Duhamel, Faith Ford, and Jessica Sanchez. Plus a new wave of breakout talent: Albert Tsai (Coop & Cami Ask the World), Karan Brar (Bunk’d, Jessie), Olivia Holt (Cloak & Dagger), Alexis Knapp (Pitch Perfect 1–3), Noah Centineo (To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before), Ben Gould (Saved by the Bell), Brenda Song (The Suite Life of Zack & Cody), Kylie Versoza (Miss International 2016).
From Classic Hollywood to the Digital Stage
For over 100 years, JRP has adapted with the times, training stars for film, television, fashion, and social media . We are THE launchpad for future icons.

Why There's an Investment and What You Get in Return
We're not an agency. We're a Talent Development and Marketing company. Our job is to help you get ready with professional training, on-camera experience, and industry guidance. Then, we market you directly to agents and managers we've built relationships with, because they know the talent we present is trained, confident, and ready to work.
Agents don't provide training or promotion; they expect you to already be a polished, bookable talent. That's where we come in. Just like with any serious skill (dance, sports, music), there's an investment to develop yourself and stand out from the crowd.

Frequently Asked Questions
JRP offers a unique opportunity for performers to rehearse their skills with industry professionals and showcase their talents in front of leading agents, managers, and casting directors from the entertainment world. For over 100 years, we’ve helped performers earn and maintain a competitive edge over their rivals. Famous Hollywood stars still work with acting coaches because the best-rehearsed candidates are the most successful.
All the difference in the world. The entertainment industry is fastpaced and constantly changing.Agents and directors need new faces and talent now. These busy professionals vastly prefer a well prepared candidate to one who lacks polish, experience or training.
Not at all. For students, we believe that a strong academic foundation should always come first, and we only work with individuals who are committed to academic excellence. Our program is designed to accommodate a variety of lifestyles, from young people just starting out to working professionals looking to pursue their passion for acting. Rehearsals and auditions are scheduled during evenings and weekends, allowing you to balance your responsibilities and still excel in school or your day job while pursuing your acting dreams.
Performers commit to a set amount of rehearsal time of 2 hours, scheduled weekly, to develop their skills and learn their scripts. Auditions and showcases with agents, casting directors or other industry professionals occur on the weekends every 3 months.
No. The MOMENTUM program is fully remote. Zoom has become the industry standard for auditions, agent meetings, and working with celebrity coaches. Previously, you had to travel to Los Angeles, which was expensive and time-consuming. Now, even top actors audition via Zoom, giving you access to opportunities from anywhere in the world, whether you're in the US, Canada, or across the globe.
Yes, with the MOMENTUM Program, you will learn from celebrity coaches who have faced the same challenges you're experiencing now. These professionals have navigated the tough beginnings and have successfully built careers in the entertainment industry. They will provide you with the precise knowledge and strategies needed to launch your acting career, saving you from hours of frustration and confusion. You’ll gain expert guidance, personalized feedback, and access to an exclusive community that will support and guide you every step of the way.
While we strongly encourage you to stay committed to your training and attend all scheduled sessions, we understand that conflicts may arise. Since this is an ongoing program with new sessions every week, you can simply pick up where you left off in the next class. Keep showing up, stay consistent, and continue building your skills!
The MOMENTUM programs range from $295 to $595 per month, depending on the level of coaching, access, and services. Once accepted, clients may choose the track that best aligns with their individual goals, commitment, and long-term career objectives.
This is a professional career program, and like any serious career path, it requires a financial investment. If you're not in a position to commit right now, we understand. Many clients take time to prepare and check back when they’re ready. Just know, space is limited, and placement is not guaranteed. If and when you’re ready, you’re welcome to reach out to see if a spot is still available.
