About Us

Welcome to ExtraHQ. We bring together actors, artists and real people for film, TV, commercials and photography, with a belief that every career starts somewhere. We understand that getting those first opportunities can be one of the biggest challenges for a new actor. Not every role will be a leading part, but every role can be a valuable step towards building experience, confidence and a career. We’re passionate about creating opportunities that help emerging talent get seen, get working and take the next step in their journey.

How we work

Principal casting

Lead and supporting roles, from first breakdown to final offer. We work closely with directors to find the perfect fit for every character.

Street & real-people

Authentic faces you won't find on a database. We scout locations and communities to find genuine talent that brings realism to your project.

Background & crowd

Reliable, camera-ready supporting artists booked fast. Whether you need a handful of extras or a stadium crowd, we handle the logistics.

For actors and talent

We love discovering new people. To be considered, join our books via the link below. We read everything, but we can only reply when there's a role that fits. Thank you for your patience.
