In the UK, the vast majority of supporting artist work is booked through agencies. Production companies rarely hire extras directly. Agencies act as the middleman, vetting talent and coordinating bookings for large-scale productions.

Look for agencies with a solid reputation and a history of placing talent in major productions. Check reviews and ensure they are compliant with industry standards. Casting Crowd connects you with multiple verified agencies, simplifying the process.

Registration usually involves an online application. You'll need to provide personal details, measurements, and upload photos. You must also prove your right to work in the UK (e.g., passport, national insurance number). Be honest about your skills and availability to ensure you're matched with appropriate roles.
