Just a few years ago casting via the Internet was slow and cumbersome. Luckily for everyone involved, Actingland foresaw
the power of creating an all-encompassing, universal talent showcase and began to develop a fast, sophisticated and
effortless online talent database and search engine.
Today, Actingland operates and maintains the world's leading online casting community. What's more, Internet casting is not
only a reality, but a vital necessity. In fact, more than 90% of all major talent agencies and casting directors
utilize the Internet in their casting efforts.
Using any Internet enabled device, talent agents, talent scouts, casting directors, managers, producers and members
of the filmmaking community can easily access Actingland's massive talent database, browse through the tens of thousands
of actor portfolios and perform in-depth searches for actors and actresses with the right characteristics and skills for their
productions.
Since the Internet is world reaching, it does not matter where an actor may live. Actingland can connect actors with
filmmakers and casting professionals nearly anywhere on earth. Many actors have found they do not need to travel to
a major city for work. Instead, many choose roles available in or around their hometowns. And with more and more films
being shot outside of the traditional motion picture hotspots and moving to locations in numerous cities and regions
around the planet, it is becoming increasingly easy to find acting work close to home.

Movie Extras
Becoming a movie extra is by far the easiest way actors can break into showbiz. Movie extras learn
all the tricks of the trade through real world, on-set experience. Plus, agents, casting directors
and production companies are always looking for extras and background performers for their productions.
Every year hundreds of films are shot on location across the country and around
the world. These productions range from locations in the largest cities to the very
smallest villages. When filmmakers decide to leave the studio, casting directors must
find local citizens for small acting roles and to appear on screen as movie extras.
Actingland makes it easy for talent agents and casting directors to locate willing participants
for their production needs. Using any device with an Internet connection, talent agents
and casting directors can search for actors and extras from almost anywhere around the world.
What makes Actingland's talent database unique and exciting is that we don't limit membership
to people living in Hollywood or New York City. It doesn't matter if you have any previous acting
experience. And it doesn't even matter how old you are or what you look like. If you want to be
a movie extra, you can. No matter where you live, how old you are, or what you look like, there
is a movie extra role available for you. Sign up with us and we will help you find it.
Join the Actingland community and you could be an extra in a future Hollywood blockbuster or even on
your way to becoming the next break-out movie star!
