Casting in Egypt: actors, extras and talent
Egypt has a deep pool of actors and one of the biggest film and TV industries in the Arab world. We find the right faces, run the casting, and handle contracts, fittings and call times.
Who we cast
Principal and supporting actors, English-speaking and bilingual talent, Arabic dialects from Egyptian to Gulf, models for photo and TVC work, real people and street casting, and extras and crowds for large scenes.
How casting works
You send the breakdown and references. We return a shortlist with photos and self-tapes, organise live or remote callbacks with your director, and then handle contracts, usage rights, fittings and call times.
Crowds and background
For market scenes, period streets or big events we cast, dress and manage background artists in large numbers, with holding areas, catering and wranglers so the crowd is ready when the camera is.
