So, I'm working on this web-series and the lead actress bailed on our weekend of shooting less than two days prior, citing her agent booked her a gig. It came to our attention via Facebook that she was partying and watching some big Rugby tournament. I wouldn't have been so mad if we didn't have 9 p...

Expand commentThis is our first project and we didn't have anything signed as we were in a bit of a rush to get the pilot done to submit to a contest. But, it's all over with. I had no idea if she really did have an agent so I emailed her directly and told her it how unprofessional it was to give us her word on the date and then bail the day before. I wouldn't have minded if it was just the 4 lead people but we had 7 other actors coming to do bit parts as she saw on the schedule I sent, and that her ignoring every attempt we made to try and get a schedule caused us to just recast, in addition to it appearing the 'gig' was a Rugby party. What set has anyone been on that streams Rugby on the computer for the actors to watch, that also happens to be the Wales team...where your husband is originally from. Yeah right. So she called me up the next day, told me I was the unprofessional one, then said we cannot use her image in anything. She then proceeded to tell me she will (and I quote) "Sue the FUCK out of me" if I use her image. I don't know how people can expect to get gigs being that way. I know if someone asked me about her I'd tell them not to bother. Though said Pilot is done and premiering on Monday, we also have 90% of episode 2 and 30% of episode 3 filmed. Indeed the best 'revenge' is to make it a success without her, not that I really give a rats ass about her at all now. Either way, Thanks everyone for the words of wisdom!!!

Honestly, as far as suing, without her signature on a release form, it is best to cut her in full ( why even give her any credit, or exposure ). I am glad that you got it all done. Best wishes for its successful premiere! >^.,.^<

Expand commentWait a minute... Notwithstanding her bailing out, and not having a contract... please be careful in using her scenes in pilot, if you do not have a signed talent-release from, The law stats that individuals have rights to "their likeness" interpreted means their images, sounds, etc. besides other equity and "moral rights". I f I were you, I would resolve the issue of the pilot with her before using it publicly.
