A message from our CEO.
The heart of background casting in the United States.
Central Casting operates the largest and most diverse database of background actors, stand-ins and doubles in the US with a legacy dating back to 1925. We are the connection between thousands of background actors and productions of all sizes, and our casting professionals bring unmatched knowledge to place the right talent in the right scenes - every time.
100 Years
For 100 years, Central Casting has set the standard for background casting in film, television and commercials. We’ve helped tell the world’s most beloved stories, from Hollywood classics to today’s streaming blockbusters, working with productions of every size and scope and launching the careers of generations of talent.
Our history is filled with industry firsts, iconic credits and new opportunities for performers. Over the decades we’ve adapted to new technologies, new storytelling styles and new ways of making magic on screen. But one thing has never changed: our commitment to the people who bring productions to life.
As we mark our 100th anniversary, we celebrate the generations of talent who’ve come through our doors and the productions that trusted us to help tell their stories.
