Acting Jobs in the UK

Half-day commercial on a working quay in Oban. One speaking part: a foot passenger who has missed the call for a small island sailing and has to ask, at normal volume, whether they can still board. Keep the embarrassment small and the reaction plain. Two short lines, then a walk down the pontoon if they are waved on. The cut is for online travel advertising.

Half-day internal training film for a housing association, shot in a ground-floor flat in Leeds. The scene is a planned gas safety visit. The tenant is home mid-morning and was not expecting anyone. The engineer has to show ID, explain why the check cannot be moved by text, and wait to be asked in. Lines are short and practical. Both performances need ordinary caution and ordinary patience. The film is for staff induction only.

Proper theatre, the school is only where it's set. Frank does nights. He's the one who clocks a pupil kipping in the store and he sits on it too long. Not a baddie. Tired, a bit sharp, gets a laugh when he isn't pushing for one. Lancashire, Preston way. Close enough and we can knock it into shape. Proper RP and you can't shift it, probably leave this. Rehearsals looking like Tue and Thu evenings plus Sunday afternoon, five weeks or thereabouts, then a short run. Six shows, might stretch if the room sells. Tech week you're in most days, that week is a mess so don't pile other jobs on it. Script still moving in act two, lines will change, don't be precious. No singing. You shift a mop bucket and a couple of chairs, that's the lot physically.

London short. Classroom, half a day, tiny crew. He's 18-22 playing a sixth-former who sits detention and says almost nothing till the last minute. No tears, no fight. Just got to be still. Plain photo is fine, and a clip if you've got one where you're not mugging at the lens.

Casting a short in Leeds. Need a man about 55-64 to play an uncle who won't leave after Sunday lunch. Most of it is sat at the table, then he gets up and has a go at his sister in the hall. One evening, tiny crew. Raised voices, no fighting. Self tape is fine to start. If you're the other end of the country we probably can't sort travel.

Eight days in Glasgow this January for an independent feature, mostly inside a rented tenement with one wet morning on the river path. The part is the older sister who has been covering the family's bills and is finished pretending she is not angry. Dialogue-heavy, two nights, no stunts. A Scottish accent you can hold is welcome; the character grew up in the city and left, so other UK accents will be read. Festival and UK streaming use sits inside the fee.

Three lead roles are being cast for a new drama pilot shooting in Dublin over three weeks. The story centres on three housemates whose lives start to unravel after a legal letter arrives for someone who used to live in their flat. What first seems like an admin mistake quickly leads back to the former tenant, their landlord and something one of the housemates has been keeping from the others. The series has a contemporary feel with tension running underneath it, but the relationship between the three leads is really at the heart of it. We need actors who feel convincing as people who have actually lived together, with all the familiarity, humour and frustration that comes with that.

A logistics training film is looking for one actor to play a newly promoted team leader. The scene covers a difficult conversation with a colleague who keeps ignoring a new process. We need someone who can sound professional without becoming stiff or presenter-like. Filming takes place in Ipswich over one full day within a one-week production window.

Two young adults needed to play flatmates in a broadband commercial filming in Lancaster. The setup is simple: they’ve just moved into their first place together and nothing is quite sorted yet. There are boxes everywhere, bits of furniture missing and a family video call happening in the middle of it all. There are a few scripted lines, but a lot of the performance will come from looks, reactions and the way the pair bounce off each other. We want the relationship to feel real. Easy chemistry, natural timing and no big advert-style performances.
