How Central Casting’s Partnerships Benefit Production

In addition to our industry experts and dedicated casting directors, hiring Central Casting for premium casting services comes with a host of benefits, including working within one comprehensive Entertainment Partners digital ecosystem. SmartVoucher, EP's pioneering digital voucher technology, is fully integrated with our casting portal and EP Payroll, ensuring a smooth workflow from hiring background actors, to tracking them throughout the workday, to sending their payment.

We also offer direct deposit on projects where Central Casting provides combined casting and payroll services, simplifying the payroll process for production and accounting teams. And through myEP, background actors can easily sign up for direct deposit, track their pay, and review pay history. This makes getting paid easy and efficient for our background actors.

For more than 20 years, we have partnered with the Directors Guild of America by leading seminars in Los Angeles, New York, and Atlanta to provide trainees with an overview on SAG-AFTRA Schedule X I and II contracts, local labor laws in regard to background actors, and much more.

We understand how important compliance is for your production. That's why our experts are in regular contact with the unions and reviewing union guidelines to protect our production partners and background actors. We are diligent about tracking and implementing contractual changes in our technology and workflows and ensuring our staff are always up to date and knowledgeable around any changes to the hiring and payment of background actors.

If you have any questions about Central Casting's premium background casting and payroll services, please contact us today. We look forward to partnering with your production!
