Casting Resources
Protecting Actors lists the following casting websites which we feel may be of use to all actors.

    Casting Call Pro

    StarNow
    StarNow.com a service enabling advertisers such as television production companies, advertising agencies, theatres, event promotion companies and other advertisers operating in the entertainment industry to place classified advertisements in an online publication.


Important Note: Known Scammers
Protecting Actors has just learnt that WildKard Talent and Modeldash (one and the same website) are attempting to scam actors into parting with money to access fictional casting information.

We urge all actors to stay clear of these rogues.
