Minc Talent?

I'm considering Minc Talent for across the board representation. Has anyone heard of them or have any experience with them, good or bad? They seem to have a lot of raving Yelp reviews, but I see that a lot of their actors on IMDB don't have any "WOW" credits...

An actor friend thinks they booked a recurring guest star role on a popular network series off of their Instagram posts but I would say it's probably due to their previous work/credits.

My actor friend posted stories/posts like "thank you Universe for this role I'm about to book" and thinks bc one of the producers "liked" it and "saw" the Instagram story after the audition that it helped them get booked. This friend is insisting I get on...

Do agents care how many different projects are featured in a submitted demo reel ?

I'm trying to cut down my reel to under 2 minutes and all of my best scenes (in my opinion) are in only 2 projects that i've done. Will this be ok? Does it not matter so long as the reel showcases my best work and my marketability as an actor? Thanks in...
