About Us

enCAST was originally put together back in early 2015 by a group of friends – mostly actors and also a couple of casting agents – who shared castings amongst themselves to help each other find work. They basically passed around the castings they learned about in their respective countries. At that time it was very informal: everything happened through the exchange of a simple email with lots of CCs in place!

But it was obvious there was a demand amongst actors for a way to find work outside their local area and across borders, so the group grew steadily until it was clear that it needed full time people and a more robust system in place to serve the actors.

Finally in 2018 enCAST was set up formally, with dedicated staff, but always in keeping with the original ethos it began with: actors helping actors.

To this day all those who work for enCAST (both full time and part time) are either actors or have been involved in acting or casting in the past. Many, in fact, are all still involved in one way or another in the industry.
