Finding Actors for your Project

If you are a Casting Director, there are several ways to contact actors on our site for your project.

Add a Casting #

If you know the type of actor you are looking for, you can simply add a new casting to the site and those actors who are interested will contact you with their details.

NB actors who don't match the age/gender/location, etc will be filtered out so you won't get contacted by actors who don't match your needs.

Search + Contact #

You can also use the search actors form to look for actors who might be suitable for your project.

By default, you can choose a country where you'd like your actors to be, but you can also use the Advanced Search to find exactly what you are looking for.

If you like the look of any of the actors, click on their profile and then under the main picture you might see a CONTACT icon — simply click on this to send the actor a message.

What if there's no CONTACT button?

An icon may not show if

the casting director is not verified *
the actor has chosen not to show it publicly

If you are not a verified casting director, see here about becoming verified — it's very simple (and free, of course).

Or, if an actor has chosen not to show the contact button on their profile, you should:

Make a note of the actor's profile URL, e.g. www.encast.eu/profile/xxxx/ where xxx is the actor id
Contact us here at enCAST admin with your message for the actor, and we will pass it on to them for you

* We ask for verification simply to avoid spam being sent to our actors; this happened in the past so we just want to make sure that the owner of the Casting Director profile is who they say they are. We apologise for asking as it's a bit of an inconvenience we know, but we don't have spam happening now so that's good.

Limits #

Note that there are limits in place to avoid flooding the system or spamming. You can normally contact up to about 5 actors per hour; after this, you must wait until the system resets itself to contact more actors.
