Fykaa Caan would like to introduce renowned Hollywood manager & actor Chi Muoi Lo, who is breaking ranks to share with you the real-life behind the scenes business lessons to truly succeed in Hollywood. Chi has over 30 years of experience as an actor, director, writer, and producer along with 19 years as a talent manager in Los Angeles.
He has seen how young actors have been exploited in the entertainment industry and should not have to overpay to get the information and knowledge they need for success. That is why Chi created the new program Mastering the Business of Acting (launching February 23rd) where he isn’t teaching acting, but how to conquer the business as an actor. We would love to reveal with you some of these closely guarded Hollywood business secrets held by agents, managers, casting directors and more. Over 185,000 people come to LA to become an actor each year and the average actor spends roughly around $6,000 to study in the city, while those in colleges and high education acting schools spend over $100,000 in tuition, with most leaving these programs without any of the proper tools needed to succeed in the entertainment industry. That is why Chi is pulling back the closely guarded curtain to share 12 hours of valuable information condensed into 7 episodes, and offering the entire program for cheaper than a textbook at $199.
Chi covers a variety of topics ranging from how to break into the business to knowing how to maintain a successful acting career, including the art and business of auditioning, the constantly changing business of acting, and the new technological advancements that now all actors are expected to be experienced in. Mastering the Business of Acting includes interviews with top agent Todd Eisner (A3 Agency, APA, Innovative), casting director John Frank Levey (ER, Shameless, West Wing), episodic director Nancy Hower (Teachers, Quick Draw) and award-winning actress Karen Malina White (Proud Family: Louder and Prouder, Mom, Malcolm and Eddie, Shameless, Lean on Me). Mastering the Business of Acting offers an invaluable experience centered around the teachings and guidance of Chi Muoi Lo. Chi is the founder of the acting group entitled Actor’s Consortium where he served as Artistic Director from July of 2002 to May of 2005. Chi is the owner of the production company, Black Hawk Entertainment and the CEO of the talent management company Allen Edelman Management. Chi Muoi Lo’s debut film Catfish In Black Bean Sauce was met with great success and made Variety’s “Top 50 of 2001 Winner At The Box Office.” Chi’s other film appearances include Indecent Proposal, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, China Cry, Vietnam War Story: The Last Days, “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” “Smallville,” “Malcolm in the Middle,” “Law & Order” and many more.
