Took a big chance last May when I read an open casting call held by ‘Central Casting NY’ for a Spike Lee Film (Highest 2 Lowest). Last minute, I jumped in my car & drove 160miles from Rhode Island to NY & made it 30min before close time where I not only got accepted for a great fun scene but also signed up with Central Casting. From that moment on, I received so many great opportunities & been on many big name shows & films from Law & Order, FBI & big name films. Most likely background roles with some lucky featured background roles or scenes that I am very grateful for that helped me kick start my ‘acting career’. Tho I currently live in Rhode Island which is about a 3-4hr drive back & forth to NY & back, I still was super excited & committed to get to getting to NY & be apart of it all! Yes, I made more money back home than driving 8hrs a day & being on set for 8-10hrs a day(s) but I enjoy films & television & took every great opportunity I was able & got accepted for. I even got invited to join SAGAFTRA but decided to hold off joining as I plan on moving closer or in NY this spring 2026 to further dwelve into the acting world & be closer to better opportunities. However, the last text message/email I received from Central casting was April 2025, it is now September 2025 & I have not received an email or text since & im not too sure why as I most likely have done over 15-20 projects with them since May 2024. I’m not too sure if they only seek fresh new faces yearly or what but I didn’t mind since I’ve been saving money & working on my look preparing for my drastic move to NY. I updated my profile & changed a few pictures so let’s see if that will jump start the new roles invitations. At one point I was receiving text messages for roles practically everyday & I would accept many or decline a few & they would make final decision which is super easy instead of me constantly applying & hearing nothing back like other casting companies & they do have an open jobs page as well but lately it’s been a dry spell & have not received anything as of yet & im not sure why. None the less I am super grateful for my experience with Central Casting, e dry casting/role I did was super fun, long days but fun in my eyes, never complained & always prepared & dedicated to go, also met a lot of great people whom I’m still in contact today. Thank you Central Casting, I hope to hear from yall soon & I will be moving to NY this spring but would drive out there now for the right opportunity!!

I would definitely encourage everyone to give Central Casting a try, especially if you're unemployed or retired. I signed up in August 2024 but didn't book my first job until April 2025, so don't expect this to be your main source of income. But I have to say I had such a great experience, I can't wait to do it again. Everyone was so kind and friendly. The production team was cheerful and helpful. And while in holding (for many hours) I met many lovely background actors. And the food from craft services was abundant and delicious! Also, don't worry about your looks...the folks I was with were just normal looking people, and not models! I can't wait to book again, it was such fun!
Man I started it out, with Central they are an awesome Casting company. I got an Under Five as a Bar patron on the Hit show Louie in 2014 on a Rush call. I almost didn't go as Barber I was packed and busy. They said we can get someone else. I said No! I will be there preparation and timing is important be ready !
and what do you! I got to set and they handed me a script
You Guys rock ! Thank you from FRED
I loved working with them so far. They are nice and I got few gigs, since I started few months ago for fun. I had to cancel one or two, but you just call and they can cancel your availability. It's all about communication.
With the exception of a few snags which is to be expected in all walks of life, CC has been a vital keystone in my quick ascent in the entertainment industry. Grateful for the opportunities afforded & looking forward to continuing efforts!
