  • Random Questions
    • Isn't this just a popularity contest?
      If by popularity you mean that the talent with the most appeal to our audience will win, then yes. But that's kind of how Hollywood works - the most engaging talent becomes the most sought after.
    • Can I get picked even if you're not in the Top 10?
      # Yes. Casting Directors and Agents may see a face that is not voted in the Top 10 but still fits what they are searching for. You may also be contacted by other industry professionals through our service.
    • I'm a Talent Agent or Casting Director and I see someone I'd like to cast - now what?
      Please contact us directly We will be happy to help facilitate connections with established, well-known industry partners.
    • How is this different than Casting Calls I see on the Internet?
      Viewing a casting call only tells you who's hiring. It doesn't get you any closer to the actual job. The problem isn't finding a casting call; it's actually getting cast for a part. We’re here to get you in front of the people that make those decisions.
