Background Artists Needed

Anyone can work as a background artist! Productions are always looking for people of all ages from every walk of life. The first step is to read our Background Artist's Guide and then create your performer profile with The Casting Collective. 

The Casting Collective is a private background artist database utilized by Casting Directors when casting performers for film and television productions. We have one of the most diverse and varied databases in the country, with people from all walks of life, all backgrounds and ethnicities. The Casting Collective is not an agency. No fees or commissions are charged to performers. Background artists keep 100% of the money they earn.
