Who we are

Rent an Actor is run by former actors who want to make actors’ talent accessible to more people, for ad hoc projects or ongoing collaborations. Our clients include individuals and businesses. All our actors are professionally trained and experienced, and they are confident improvisers with a creative and professional approach.

Where we are

Most of our actors are based in London, UK. If you have a job taking place elsewhere please get in touch, we may be able to help with some local talent.

Testimonies

We have a range of very happy clients, but in the interest of confidentiality we can’t always give details of the types of jobs we have completed, especially in the case of private individuals.

Sonja and her team have been absolutely brilliant. We had a call and Sonja really took the time to understand what I was after, worked with me on budget, made recommendations and found the perfect people for the job. The actors were confident and chatty and also made time to talk to me in advance of working to make sure everything ran smoothly. We had a Whatsapp group so I was kept up to date and we were easily able to communicate throughout. They exceeded my expectations with results and overall I've had a fantastic experience. It has been so easy and I would definitely use Rent-an-actor again!

How it works


When you approach us with a potential booking, we require details of what kind of person you feel would suit the job, ie their gender, approximate age, ideal appearance and anything else that may be relevant, such as time and location of the booking and any background the performer should be aware of. Please be prepared to discuss the job in more detail either by email or phone. Based on the information you give us we can then share some actors’ profiles with you who we feel may suit the job. You decide who you wish to book.

Prices


Every enquiry has its own individual requirements.
After we got in touch with you and have understand all your needs in detail we will give you an individual offer and pricing.

What we do


We can help with anything that requires a person you can’t find anywhere else.

We can pretend to be most people in many situations, from family occasions to corporate events, we can accompany clients to functions, deliver a message, dress up, prank or help with training.

We can be serious and business like, or silly and inject a note of humour to whatever occasion you have in mind.

We can perform in most public places in whatever capacity required, or act over a phone call or Skype.

What we don’t do


Stunts, dangerous jobs; one-on-one bookings in private residences/’massages’; acting in a capacity most people would consider morally wrong (i.e. stalking exes, delivering fake/bad news that could disturb an individual or cause them to react in a violent way towards the performer, pranks intended to bully or frighten).

Actors


We regularly post jobs on the usual casting websites, please keep an eye out.
We are excited to hear from new performers, but don't represent actors as an agency does. We have a number of actors we work with on a regular basis, and there isn't a 'type' we do or don't need, so if you wish to share your Spotlight, CCP or Starnow link with us, please do. Unfortunately, we are rarely able to offer paid work to actors new to the business. You must have an online presence and relevant training. We are especially excited to hear from actors over 55, and anyone with special skills, musicians or performers with access to costumes.
