Casting Calls in UK

Current UK casting calls for actors and supporting artists, covering London, Manchester, Birmingham and beyond. Film, TV, commercials and stage.

Browse current UK casting calls for actors and supporting artists, the term used in the UK for extras and background performers. The UK's film and TV industry is centred on London and the South East, where several of the country's biggest studios are based. There's steady work in Manchester and the North and in Birmingham and the Midlands too, and each region has its own hub. You'll find feature films, TV dramas, commercials, theatre and immersive experiences here, with paid supporting artist days alongside speaking roles. Check each listing for the shoot dates and location, as many productions need performers who can travel to set at short notice.

All roles listed are for performers aged 18 and over. Open any listing for dates, pay and role details. A genuine casting will never ask you to pay a fee to apply.

Listing Badges Explained

Please use these listing badges as a guide only. Members must conduct their own research to assess the validity of each casting before responding.

Verified

Our highest level of check. We've screened this casting against our full criteria and either confirmed it comes from a reputable, well-established casting professional, or made direct contact with the person or organisation running it.

Screened

We've put this casting through a range of checks and everything provided appears legitimate. We haven't made direct contact with the caster, so we still recommend doing your own research before responding.

Sourced

We found this casting and we're passing it on. Verification is limited, because only limited information was available about the casting and the people behind it. Please do your own research before responding.

Important casting safety information

Castings and their posters are not affiliated with Actors and Extras, and we cannot guarantee every listing. Verify details independently and review our Casting Call Terms and Conditions before responding.

When applying for a casting or an audition:

  • Never pay to apply, audition, secure a role or take part in a production.
  • Never share financial, identity or password details.
  • Never send explicit content or comply with inappropriate audition requests.
  • Never attend unsafe auditions; minors need a guardian.
  • Never transfer money or buy gift cards, crypto or equipment.
  • Remember: if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

If anyone asks you to do any of these things, stop communicating with them and report the casting immediately.
