After months of working on sets filming TV shows, commercials and voice over work, dozens of Toronto actors say they have been left without pay.
As a non-union actor, Madison explained, the money often didn’t reach her for a few weeks. But at day 77 without payment, she started to get worried.In September, Madison reached out to other actors under the same agency and found they had similar stories. The group believes there is roughly $500,000 that has gone unpaid by the talent agency, leaving dozens of actors suffering a financial loss.
An independent insolvency consultant said “it would not be economical to bankrupt the company as costs of administration far exceed any expected realization from the assets.” Hepburn and Madison said they have contacted production companies directly, claiming they’ve seen statements of payment to Compass Artist Management for their work and it was never passed along.
