Featured Testimonial from ASHLEY ARGOTA!
Plays the role of "Lulu" on the hit Nickelodeon series, "True Jackson, VP"
"I started acting when I was 5 years old. I can honestly say that I never really enjoyed acting classes until I started taking classes at The Playground. I never thought I could learn so much in one place! Gary, Gayla, Lee, and the rest of the teachers at The Playground are amazing. They made our classes so much fun, but I still learned so much! I took classes for about a year and a half, and in that time I gained so much confidence. I know exactly what to do when I get my scripts for the show every week. I still do the tongue twisters that I was taught (PURPLE WURPLE!) and do my script analysis for the scenes that I'm in. Honestly, I think that The Playground is a huge part of why I got my role on True Jackson, VP. Without their help, I don't think I'd be here right now! The lessons that I was taught during my time at The Playground will be with me for the rest of my life. And I'm never going to stop learning- I STILL get coaching at The Playground! I LOVE IT THERE!! :)
xoxo! ash"

"Gary Spatz was one of my son's first acting coaches in Los Angeles. We moved from Ohio to pursue my son's passion of acting. Gary has been one of the keys to my son's success! He has always been the most understanding and knowledgeable resource for both Nate and myself. Gary and his outstanding staff at the Playground have always been professional, patient, and caring. We are so grateful that we met Gary when we embarked upon this journey four years ago. Gary will always hold a special place in our hearts for his steadfast encouragement and ongoing support.
Thanks again! You are the BEST!Michele Hartley (Nate's Mom)"

Dylan & Cole Sprouse Mention Gary in an Interview
Dylan and Cole Sprouse (Suite Life of Zack and Cody) candidly talk about acting coach GARY SPATZ during an interview for TV Guide.
Gary Spatz on Extra Entertainment Television!!!
Correctional Note: In this piece Gary was labeled as a "talent scout" when, in fact, he was hired as a creative consultant and acting coach to help select the cast but, more importantly to nurture and maintain the ensemble of young stars with classes, etc during our long production in Orlando. Secondly, Gary Spatz told "Extra" that he was not the acting coach for Haley Joel Osment (whose character played the older brother to Johnathan Lipnicki on the Jeff Foxworthy Show). Gary Spatz was hired to be Johnathan Lipnicki's coach while Haley worked exclusively with his father.
