I feel compelled to share this info here:

Creditor calls my house every single day for this person. They ask for Vance P Miller, Vance Peyton, Vance Peyton Miller and now Brock Mosher. That is his sons first name, and his mothers maiden name.

I have nothing to do with this man and have not for several years. Once I figured out Advance LA was a money laundering service and that he was stealing and lying to people, parents and children, I gave my resignation.

His cell is 310-500-6074.

Good luck but be careful. He is desperate and will go to any length to protect his lies

ADVANCE L.A. is a big scam agency run by CEO Vance Peyton Miller, who is known for not paying his actors - on a large scale. We're talking volumes of actors who never got paid -- this is in fact how he pays his rent. I recently did a couple commercials for Vance and company, who did not even file the invoices to the production companies to get my money (and theirs). When I prodded them to do so, they withheld my payment - as much as $3500 in some cases - a violation of the labor code. I since filed a petition at the Labor Commissioner's office, called, "Petition to Determine Controversy," which is a specific area in the CA labor code, pertaining to talent agency and talent conflicts. I won the petition to get my money, and now have to appear in court to get a public hearing, to finalize the results. This involved hiring a lawyer. While I am fighting for justice, this process has been lengthy, and not worth getting involved with Advance L.A. in the first place. I don't know why the State of California does not do anything about shutting them down, but my next step is to get a court order to further collect my money… which is now really not worth it financially for me… but I'm doing it to get justice. Advance L.A. is not registered with the Labor Commissioner, but yet is allowed to continue to do business. I urge anyone else who has had a similar experience to write to the Labor Commissioner in San Fran, and urge her, and the Governor, to ban such illicit talent agents. Right now, the only way to fight these injustices is through individual court cases. But if there are enough actors to come forward, the state will have no choice but to take action on the behalf of the many hard working actors, union or non-union, who continue to be taken advantage of. Watch your back!

No....he is not a real agent. Google his name and see for yourself. He is currently going by the name of "Matt" using his new fake company MNM film production as a camouflage to distract people from the fact that he is a well-known con man. Avoid by all means necessary.

Vance Miller is a scam artist, liar and thief. He paid me for Town Car Service using a credit card or PayPal account he was not authorized for. I am now out $275.00. Avoid this man at a ll cost and never, I repeat never, give him money or accept anything but CASH from him. He tried to pay me with a check that was not printed with an address. I refused and demanded payment before service, he paid using PayPal and that payment is now being disputed some 60 days later.

Unfortunately, the answer to this question is no! The stories of people he has ripped off are endless at this point. Vance Peyton AKA Vance P Miller is a well-known scam artist throughout the acting community in Los Angeles. All the negative stories you've heard about him are true, I'm afraid. Please take note of the following information. This is first hand experience, mind you!

Vance Peyton/Vance P Miller is not an agent, nor is he licensed by the State of California to carry that title. He is a con man. A liar and a thief. This guy makes a living conning gullible people out of their hard earned cash - promising them or their kids an audition in the next big movie if they simply complete "a few acting classes". The charge is usually around $2500 for a few totally lame and useless classes. They'll try to convince you that once you've completed the "imperative" acting classes, the job offers will come "rolling in". Sadly, however, nothing could be further from the truth. It's ALL lies and manipulation with the sole purpose of robbing you of your money! Nothing more. The only work this man will ever get you is low level stuff through other crooked agencies such as John Roberts Powers and the TLACC. (The LA Casting Connection) Then, when the check arrives, he'll cash it, and keep the entire balance without everpaying you, the actor. He's been doing it for years, and personally, I am amazed at the fact that he is not yet behind bars.

He also does this cute little tour around the U.S. giving speeches to young kids, explaining to them and their parents "what it really takes" to make it as an actor in Hollywood. (As if he knew) That' s when he'll suggest that your wonderful child attend classes priced at $2500 for "an entire course".

Either way, he cannot deliver on any of his promises of lucrative acting jobs, for you or your kid, because, at the end of the day, he is a nobody with no say-so whatsoever. The man is a bum and a pathetic joke. Have nothing to do with him or anyone associated with him. This may seem harsh, but trust me, you'll thank me later!

They are not an agency. Vance Peyton Miller has repeatedly not paid actors who have checks mailed to him under his false presentation of himself and his business as a talent agency. He does not earn money as an agent, he tours the the USA giving speeches at acting schools on what it takes to be an actor.

He provided false documentation to Casting Networks to be listed there as an agent and has since been removed.

Vance P. Miller AKA Vance Peyton and Vance Peyton Miller is not an agent and is in the process of trying to steal 6000 dollars from me.

I had booked several commercials through his agency Advance LA and had the checks mailed to their office on good faith. They cashed them, claiming they didn't know they were mine, and that they didn't have the money to pay me. I am currently in the process of recovering my money, but its going to be a long process.

The guy is a liar as is the woman who works for him Terri Gammons. These two knowingly were cashing my checks and not giving me the money, claiming that they had three months to pay me.

When I threatened legal action, he and his partner in crime gave me a check for a thousand dollars with insufficient funds in the account. A former employee also told me that his last payroll check bounced.

Vance Peyton is not a licensed agent, and doesn't have any money to pay the clients that do earn, so if he's got no money coming in except mine, he's not good at what he does.

Do not do business with Vance Peyton

I have been forced to file criminal charges against Vance Peyton after he and his partner German Morales cashed checks of mine, for a total of more than $7500 without paying me a red cent. I had earned this money by booking a series of national commercials through Advance LA. (The fake non-licensed talent agency they run out of West Hollywood) This little scam has been going on for over 2 years now and the stories of people he has ripped off are endless. Rumour has it that he is now starting another company called "MNM Film Production" in effort to conceal his identity. Also, his current office on Santa Monica Blvd. seems to have been abandoned and the phone lines have been disconnected. I have both called and been by many, many times to collect my money. However, I was told recently that his current address is: 8293 Grand View Dr Los Angeles, CA 90046-1915

Vance Peyton is also known for taking advantage of young children. He runs another scam with The LA Casting Connection (TLACC) and actually preys on young children!!!!....This is how he earns his livelihood. So there you have it.

I have spoken my peace.

He's not an agent and is in the process of trying to steal 5400 dollars from me (6000 minus the ten percent I was agreed to pay him)

No, in fact he is not an agent, you can call the the California Labor Board and ask for licensing, talk to Jeanie McBride. The guy says he's an agent and calls the people working for him an agent, but he is not.

I get my own auditions through a marketing service, and the first one they handled, I landed, a national commercial.

I had the checks mailed to Advance LA's office on good faith. They cashed them, claiming they didn't know they were mine, and then didn't have the money to pay me. I am currently in the process of recovering my money, but its going to be a long process.

I am also going through a similar situation with Vance at Advance LA. I booked a national commercial. He has cashed 4 of my checks totaling almost $5,000 dating back to Aug 19th 2009. He has never denied me payment but has been giving me the run around for months with every excuse in the book. I will be suing him. Please contact me if you think bonding together would help to press criminal charges. The D.A. referred me to the Sheriff, the Sheriff said it was civil. Small claims is a pain in the butt and a joke to collect. But doing it anyway.

Vance is not a real agent. He is a con man and, as it turns out, an employee of John Robert Powers; the number one scam agency in North America. The guy travels around the country crushing the dreams and hopes of young children and otherwise gullible people.

I too fell victim to it, after having spent over $2500 on acting classes for my 7-year-old son. I was told that after the completion of this 6-week workshop, my son would be signed to the agency and secured work. However, half way through the process, they began cancelling appointments without rescheduling, and stopped returning our calls all together. Finally, my husband went by their office to find out what was going on, but was unable to find Vance or his partner German Morales, and the office seemed to have been completely abandoned.

To those of you considering representation offered by Vance Peyton AKA Vance P Miller and Vance Peyton Miller. His agency Advance LA is not SAG affiliated, not a member of the ATA, not a member of the MTA and not state licensed.

I should have known better and done my research beforehand but I learned the hard way. I have reported the matter to the The Better Business Bureau and plan to file criminal charges against Vance Peyton.

Look elsewhere for representation. This man is not legit!

He is real alright. A real thief, liar and a scammer. He is trash. Scum of the earth. Do not do business with this individual. He has ripped off many of my friends in the acting community and has a horrible reputation in LA. Check with the Labor Commissioner's office in San Francisco and ask to speak to the Talent License division. They will verify this. He is NOT an agent. Just another loser scumbag in Hollywood looking for easy money. What a CREEP!

Be aware: Vance Peyton is also now going as Vance P. Miller. Vance P. Miller is also a producer (currently working on "Shotgun Wedding", I believe). I, too, am taking him to court for money not received for commericial work.

I booked a national commercial through Vance at Advance LA. Vance was permitted to process my checks, take out his commission of 10% and pay me the balance within 30 days. Vance cashed 4 of my checks totaling close to $5,000 and never paid me! This started in Aug. of 2009!

His phone # has since been disconnected, bank account is closed and seems to have moved his office as well. Apparently he was switching to a management company and producing a film. The new name on the card on his assistant's desk was "MNM film production"

German Morales whose signature was on the back of all the checks that were deposited into the Advance LA account. I have copies of them all with the bank account info. German lied to me and acted as if he never came in contact with the checks as they both blamed it on the accounting department... trying to put me Vance till some payment from the investors of their film came through.... apologizing to me for months. German should be named as an accomplice!

Now I can't even find them to sue them. Many others have contacted me or posted that they've had the same problem. (Not to mention the scam of a workshop that he runs through TLACC. It was like being at a huge cattle call for $600!!!! Children from all over the country. Most of the casting directors that attented were pissed and offended at what a pathetic joke it was!)

We are trying to get everyone together to file a criminal lawsuit so he will stop doing this to people. Even children!

You really want to avoid this person as much as possible. He is thief, liar, scammer. He will steal your money and then deny he did it. He will make promises he has no intention of keeping. He is a despicable person with absolutely no conscience at all. He uses several names including Vance Peyton, Vance Miller and his newest, Brock Mosher. This gut is not an agent, he is not registered with any know organization or affiliated in any way with a legitimate business. He has a criminal record and there are outstanding warrants in at least two states for his arrest. He uses other peoples money to pay his debts and to live on. He will cheat you and lie to your face without blinking an eye. Never accept anything other than cash from this man for anything. He will try to pay with closed checking accounts or a PayPal accounts that he is not authorized to use. He is a reprehensible a$$hole. Avoid him at all costs.

Is there an upcoming television series that needs a teenage female actress?

Answer:The best way to get on television is to get an agent in your area (if they have TV production there). Once you have an agent, they will send you out on auditions for roles they think you are right for. If you don't live in an area close to TV production, you will not be able to work on TV while you live there. Producers do not fly in actors for auditions except for VERY rare circumstances. Stay away from any talent agent who makes you pay money up front (even for headshots). A real agent will give you the names of some reputable photographers and do not take the money themselves.Answer:A good way to get an agent is to look for agents in the newspaper, on the radio, tv camercials, ext.

When a home's deed is transferred to another person do the contents of the house such as furnishings etc. convey?

Personal property does not automatically transfer with a deed for real property.
