Our Story
Long term industry professionals (veteran actors, casting director, producers, writers and advocates) building a database of excellent actors, with REAL physical differences, who are talented, ready, and able to audition for all kinds of roles in film and television.
This includes all trained actors who have a physical difference, that has kept them from working, or caused doors to be closed to them, in the Entertainment Industry, in spite of their ability.
If you are a TRAINED actor, working in the Entertainment Industry, and have been denied roles or auditions, due to the Industry's perception of your disability, we welcome you to this group and will try to help get your name and work out there.
PLEASE honor our request that you really be trained and ready to work professionally! We are tired of hearing the Industry say that people with disabilities are NOT talented, so we are going to guide them to the TRULY talented who have done their work.
Please include your experience, resume or training experience, how long you have been trying to work in the Industry, a reel if possible, any Union affiliations, and any other information you feel will be helpful in placing you in roles. If there are roles you are especially suited for, because of your physical difference, tell us that, too.
We are also open to submissions from people recommending these actors. As actors are submitted, they will be added to our database and recommended for appropriate roles.
Thank you for helping us make it possible for people with disabilities and physical challenges to be considered for ALL kinds of roles in Entertainment, not just disabled roles.
Also, if you have a CASTING NEED, post here or message us, and we will recommend actors for you.
Thank you!
