FAQ about hiring an Actor

How much does it cost to hire an actor?

expand

On average, professional actors cost $200-$300 for a 1-hour engagement. This price may vary depending on your location, the role the actor must play, and their skill level. For the most accurate pricing, consider your event or production length. Some actors will charge a flat-rate fee based on prospective work hours, while other actors will prefer to be paid by the hour.

What roles can the actor play?

expand

Actors can play a wide variety of roles based on their skill set and prior experience. You can hire an actor to perform in plays, films, television shows, or commercials. You can also book actors for events! For instance, a comedic actor could perform a roast at a birthday party or a character actor could offer scares at a Halloween celebration. Or hire an actor to help orchestrate special surprises like an epic marriage proposal or a silly prank.

How do I find the best actor for my project?

expand

To choose the perfect actor for your project, you must do your research. All professional actors should have an online profile or portfolio available for you to peruse. This will often include their resume, headshots, and promo videos. You can also ask them to audition for you to see how they might perform in your specific role.

When hiring actors for events, you can also read reviews from their past clients who have booked them. This will help you learn if they have experience with requests like yours and what they were like to work with throughout the project.

How long before the start of the project or event should I book an actor?

expand

It’s best to book an actor at least 8–10 months before the start of your project or event, especially for larger commitments. Some actors are booked for extended periods, so hiring on short notice might be difficult. The sooner an actor is secured, the more time they have to prepare for their role.

Planning an Elegant Award Ceremony
By GigSalad

Many of us dream of attending an award ceremony. We dream of the dramatic few moments before the category we’re nominated for (because of course we’re nominated; what kind of dream would it be if we were just there) is presented. We imagine the suspense. We’ve planned the face we’ll make if we lose. But, of course, we don’t lose. Our name is called and, oh!, how exciting! How surprising! Did we hear that right? Yes? We won!
