IMTA Alum Jessica Biel Wows in Guys and Dolls!

Jessica Biel received a standing ovation after her performances this weekend of Guys and Dolls at The Hollywood Bowl! The reviews are in and Jessica played the character of Sarah Brown with confidence and poise!

Jessica Biel amazed all of us at IMTA in 1994 when she sang a charming rendition of The Lullabye of Broadway complete with a top hat and cane! Her beauty, acting potential and singing and dancing abilities caught the attention of the agents, managers and casting directors who attend every IMTA Convention looking for new faces to represent. Jessica gave an exclusive interview to us in 1998 after starring in the hit WB television series 7th Heaven. You can read the entire archived interview here!

Here's an excerpt from that interview:

How has your life changed since you attended the IMTA Convention?
Jessica: I went from amateur to professional actress thanks to my personal manager Diane Hardin and my agent Jeff Morrone who I met at the IMTA Convention.

Would you recommend attending an IMTA Convention to other aspiring young actors and models?
Jessica: Definitely! You will meet people who can change your life and make your dreams come true!

Congratulations to Jessica for being a showstopper in one of America's greatest musicals! If you are interested in showing your talents at IMTA, please visit our official site and fill out the information request form.

IMTA Alum Ashton Kutcher on the cover of Parade!

IMTA's 1997 Most Sought After Male Model Ashton Kutcher is on the cover of this Sunday's PARADE magazine! The magazine's editor had this to say about Ashton, "At the PARADE photo shoot, Ashton, who does camera commercials, cheerfully took pictures of himself. He gleefully made fun of the “burden” celebs have when people ask them for autographs by signing his own face. Funny. Clever. And a terrific cover for Parade."



Ashton has always been one of the most photogenic actors in Hollywood. His modeling background combined with his great looks make him a natural! At IMTA, Ashton had so many agents and managers who wanted to sign him that he won the coveted title of Most Sought After Male Model for the New York, 1997 IMTA Convention. You can see his potential in some of his earliest modeling shots!
