casting agency
Actor placement service
A casting agency is a business that connects performers—actors, models, extras—with production companies seeking talent for film, television, commercials, or theater.
The agency maintains a roster of clients and submits them for roles, typically earning a percentage of the performer's fee when booked: She signed with a casting agency after graduating from drama school.
