Casting Directors
Expert casting services leveraging Prague's status as one of Europe's top production hubs, with access to the Czech Republic's classically trained talent pool.
A casting director identifies and selects the actors who will bring a script's characters to life. The Czech Republic has been a premier European filming destination for decades, and its talent pool reflects this heritage. Czech actors trained at DAMU (the Academy of Performing Arts) and Prague's National Theatre bring rigorous classical training combined with extensive experience supporting international productions at Barrandov Studios and across the country.
We connect you with casting directors who have deep relationships across the Czech acting community. Our network covers talent agencies in Prague, Brno, and beyond, with access to Czech Film Commission casting resources and a deep database of performers experienced in international co-productions filmed at Barrandov Studios and other Czech facilities.

Casting Expertise
What types of casting do you handle?
We provide complete casting services including principal roles (leads, supporting), day players, background artists, and specialty casting (stunts, dancers, musicians). Our casting directors have experience across features, television, commercials, and branded content.
Can you find English-speaking Czech actors?
Yes, decades of international production in Prague have created a large pool of Czech actors fluent in English. Our database also includes performers fluent in German, Slovak, Polish, and Russian. We coordinate with agencies across Central Europe for regional co-productions.
How do you handle auditions?
We offer flexible audition options including in-person sessions at professional casting facilities in Prague, Brno, and Karlovy Vary, self-tape coordination with quality control, and live video auditions for remote directors. All sessions can be recorded for review.
What about background and extras casting?
We maintain databases of background artists across Czech Republic and can source specific types, looks, and skills as needed. For large crowd scenes, we coordinate casting calls and manage extras on shoot days through our AD network.
How far in advance should we start casting?
For principal roles on features, start 8-12 weeks before shooting to allow time for submissions, auditions, callbacks, and deal-making. Supporting roles need 4-6 weeks. Background casting can be arranged more quickly, typically 2-3 weeks.
Do you handle talent contracts and negotiations?
Yes, our casting directors work with agents and managers on deal negotiations, ensuring terms work for your budget while meeting Czech industry standards. We coordinate with your production legal team on contract finalization.
