Hi Anthony,
I was on Lucy Harrison's books for just under a year until Dec '23 whilst I was trying to get sole representation again after a long break from the industry.
LHC started up in late '22 and I connected via Instagram (after she followed me).
She put me up for about half a dozen jobs in that time ( mainly idents, commercials etc ) and I ended up with 1 booking as a walk-on in a rice commercial.
Plus points: Free to join, no 'book fee' or contract so you can still register with other 'commercials' agencies, and certainly no worse than any other 'non sole rep' agency I've tried. A Spotlight profile was compulsory when I joined, but not sure now - best to check.
Negative points: Lucy has really been pushing the headshots service lately. She's recently been insisting that everyone has 'digitals' on their profile ('natural' shots from full-length to side profiles etc.) and then followed that up with 'deals' on this type of shot through her own business. I can't vouch for the headshot side of the service as I've never used it :)
Overall? Certainly worth a punt as there's nothing to lose! LHC seems more targeted to commercials rather than TV/Film roles and I'm not sure how many 'senior' actors such as myself get much work unless you have striking and/or 'model' looks.
Good luck!
Best,
John
