Casting types

Walk-on casting

A step up from background: one gesture, one presence that registers.

A silhouette is a noticed piece of background work: your face is distinguishable, or you carry out a specific action on screen. It is the step just above background work, often better paid, and the most natural way through to roles with lines.

Who it's for

You have a look, a bearing or a precise action to play on camera. A silent but visible role, usually better paid than background work.

What Agental brings you

We target the silhouette roles that match your typology and your area, and we alert you fast because they often go out at short notice. We coach you on the self-tape when one is asked for, and we put forward what makes you recognisable on screen. We negotiate your fee and check your image rights.
