Green Key Management, LLC, and its owner, Seth Greenky, have been vindicated in New York State Supreme Court by winning a defamation suit. A smear was leveled against me on the internet by a former client in order to hurt me, my reputation, and my business. So, if you see any garbage about me on the web, that’s all that it is….garbage. Sometimes it’s impossible, to remove lies from the Web, even when they are proven lies, and harm continues. A jury has rightfully vindicated me.

June 11, 2019Manager Seth Greenky on Agents and Managers
At what stage of a career is a manager necessary?
There isn’t a time when a manager is not necessary. A newcomer needs guidance to avoid the many mistakes of an amateur. Having a manager may put you five years ahead of someone who does not have the benefits of a manager’s experience and contacts. If someone has become successful, then a manager is needed to help weed through offers, help set career direction, deal with publicists, and a million other things that come along with professional success.
What can a manager do that an agent can’t?
Managers are generally able to give more attention to the individual because we have fewer clients. We help someone who doesn’t have an agent to find one, or if needed, help find a new one. Agents prefer someone who has been screened and properly prepared in the ways of the business. That’s why it’s called personal management.
How do agents and managers work together?
I can’t speak for other managers, only myself. First, I make sure that my client’s agent is paying enough attention to my client. We oftentimes will work together on trying to create opportunities for the shared client. If requested (I usually am), I will co-submit to a casting director in conjunction with the agent. I may send one headshot while the agent sends a different shot, so the casting director gets two looks. When an agent needs to negotiate I’ll advise on what is or is not acceptable, whether it’s compensation, hours, scheduling, or even how much and what type of nudity might be permissible. Sometimes an agent will be busy and will ask me to follow up with a casting director or get the sides/script to the actor. I make sure they are prepped for the audition, and whether they should revisit their coach (almost always) beforehand. Sometimes I’ll get a lead on something and feed the info to the agent to follow up, or vice versa. It’s a team effort.

Green Key Management wins Defamation Suit
June 23, 2016Partial Announcement: After 7 years, I have won my case in a Defamation lawsuit in a smear that was leveled against me by a former client. With the verdict in my favor, a settlement has been reached in lieu of punitive damages. As a show of the sincerity of this person’s contrition, this person has agreed to make a public apology in the near future. As a sign of reconciliation and good will, I was asked by this person if I would, once again, be this person’s representative. I have accepted this person’s apology because I believe it is sincere and have agreed to take this person back as a client. All-in-all, I consider that amazing and hope it serves as an example that two people, who were at bitter odds for so long, can attempt to put things back together. At this time, there is no need for me to call this person by name. That will take place at a time and place in the next month or two. As a sign of our re-gained mutual respect, though I did not have to, I asked this person if I could post this. The response from this person was: “I think that’s fine and fair.”
—————If you think you know who this person is, please do not write that person’s name in a comment.
