A celebrity-based acting program Established 2010

AGB Studios is a private celebrity-based talent development program and acting school.  

Our programs are available in person and online for those of you that are not local to us.

The company was founded in 2010 by actor and director, David DeLuise from the Emmy Award winning show, Wizards of Waverly Place and an entertainment executive to revolutionize the talent development industry.  AGB takes its clients by the hand and teaches them how to get involved in the entertainment industry the RIGHT WAY.   We specialize in training young actors between the ages of 5-24 in commercial acting, improvisation, monologues, cold reading, scene study, and talent agent preparation.

 Why we do what we do:  

There are many companies that take advantage of families trying to get started in the entertainment business. Some of those companies even took advantage of some well-known actors including David DeLuise. His name and image were used by a company without permission for almost two years after he hosted a ONE DAY event for them. It was brought to his attention by a Disney Channel attorney and the situation was taken care of immediately. That experience made David realize there is a true need for a company that is honest and straight forward with people.  David and an entertainment executive reached out to some of their actor friends that you may have seen on the Disney Channel, Nickelodeon and other networks to get involved with this project and give back to young actors and the fans of their shows. Young actors now have the chance to have some of their favorite actors they've watched on television personally train and mentor them.   We've seen similar companies follow in our footsteps and even use the words, “Giving Back” and “Celebrity Mentors.” We are proud to be the leaders of this positive movement.  

Coaches:

 David DeLuise played the loveable and hilarious, “Jerry Russo”, Selena Gomez’s dad on the hit show, Wizards of Waverly Place.
