Yes. We accept materials for consideration from throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and beyond. While our work is frequently in locations more commonly associated with entertainment, we also work on remote locations in states one might not expect, as well as in other countries. We accept submissions from union and non union talent year round. Alternately, you may register with The Talent Book - a national talent search, subscription database.

We accept materials directly from talent, or through talent/management agencies.

We accept materials representative of all types of talent including Voice Over Demos, Headshots, Resumes, Film/video reels, singers, dancers, musicians and variety entertainers.

No. We discourage drop offs, or drop ins. We do set aside dates & times specifically to meet actors. Please look for announcements on our web site. We'd love to meet with you, and try to be of assistance if we can. These restrictions are designed to maintain a professional atmosphere, and treat both actors & our clients in a dignified, and respectful manor. Watch for invitations to visit... Open Calls, Open Houses & special events. See our Casting News Page for additional information. Please... don't drop in, or drop off materials without an invitation, or an Appointment.

All materials may be sent to:

Yes, and No... We receive a great number of calls from people all over the world.  Many of the calls we receive are from people that want answers to common questions that can easily be answered right here on our web site. Questions like "What's your mailing address" or "where should I send my headshot". The answers to these questions, and many more are right here. We ask that you try to find the information you need here first. Its not a good idea to call to "get to know" or "establish a relationship" the casting director, or the people he works with. The best way to make an impression is to have good headshots, a working resume, an education, and try to meet the casting people by inviting them to shows, mailing your updated information frequently, and watching for open calls, or auditions. If you have a good question, please email us... be careful not call for information that's readily available. We're people just like you... If its something that would bother you at work... chances are it will bother us as well. As with any casting office, you don't want your first impression to be a bad one. Please see Things You Should Know for additional information.

No. Do not send us your last, or only copies of headshots, photographs, audio recordings, video, or any other materials you may want back. We can not return anything you send to us, even if you provide postage. All materials sent to us become the property of Peter Bezemes Casting and will not be returned.  As an actor, or talent, you are responsible to provide photographs, or other information, in support of your career, at your expense.

Yes, and No...  If you don't state the nature of your business (meaning why you called in the first place), you shouldn't expect a return call. Leaving just your name, and number, is not enough.  (Many people even forget to leave a number!) You must tell us who you are, how we can contact you, and why you are calling.  If you don't tell us your reason for calling it's unlikely your call will be returned. 

We accept all types. Men, Women, Teens & Children of all ages, races, sizes, and shapes. We use all types of talent... Film, Television, Radio, Voice Over, Union, Non-Union... While we are often inclined to hire experienced talent, sometimes we make exceptions. Don't be discouraged. If you don't try, you'll never know.

No. We are not talent agents. We don't represent talent. We represent Producers, Directors, and Studios. We are contracted, and paid by them, to locate, select, and contract the proper talent for their productions.

You call actors to audition, accept headshots and resumes, why don't you represent them?

Quite simply, its not the job of a casting director. We locate, select, and arrange employment of talent, on behalf of our client  producers, and studios... We sell our services to producers & Studios. We do use actors that send us their headshots directly, through talent agents, or talent managers.... We audition & hire actors, but don't actually represent them.

No. We do not accept any fees, commissions or payments, or percentages of any kind from actors for considering them, or casting them in roles. We charge client producers, studios and production companies for our services.

Just because we can't represent you, doesn't mean we wont use you on one of our projects. Make sure you send in your information on a regular basis to be considered. If you aren't in our files, submitted though an agent, manager, or yourself, we cant consider you for work.  You can either represent yourself (the right thing to do if you aren't making lots of money at acting), or try to find a knowledgeable agent, or manager that will represent you. Unless you are making a good deal of money as a performer, don't expect the more reputable agents to want to represent you. Best advice... represent yourself as best you can until you have the proper credentials to acquire a reputable agency to do the work for you.... or better yet,  gain the knowledge to avoid using one completely. Having an agent is not the secret to getting work.

How can I learn how this business really works? I cant seem to get answers! I've been to college, I read everything I can get my hands on, but I still don't know how to get the kind of acting  jobs I want. I want to make a career out of this but I cant find out how.

Unfortunately, colleges usually don't provide the most practical information for students that wish to be professional actors. They tend to be big on theory, but short on good job seeking skills. It's not enough to be a good actor. If you don't understand how the business of acting works, its unlikely you will find much in the way of meaningful employment. There are however, many classes, workshops, and seminars available out there that can answer those questions.  Many casting directors have classes or workshops.  These are professional people that work in the industry. They have the answers, but like any other professional, they charge for the specialized, or unique information they possess. Just as a lawyer or doctor charge for their specialized knowledge, so would a casting director, or other entertainment professional. Look around to see who might have the right workshop, or class for your needs. Just like anything else... not all classes, or workshops, are equal. If you want good advice, you have go to someone that knows what they are talking about. Be careful, listen to what people say, ask questions, and observe. If the people you look to for direction act professionally, and seem logical... perhaps they are a good choice. Please see The Actors Institute for related information.

Well, time is the biggest factor. Just like you, people that work in the entertainment industry often just don't have the time. Beyond that, most professionals have spent countless thousands of dollars educating themselves... years of labor, and hard work. They expect to be compensated for their efforts, and rightly so. Don't expect other actors, schools, colleges, and entertainment professionals to do your work for free. They didn't get it for free either.  Everyone has a choice; work for the answers that help you reach your personal & professional goals, or pay someone else to do the work for you.  

If a production doesn't know what you look like, they wont want to hire you sight unseen. They wont waste their time, or money, seeing you without viewing your photograph first.  Your headshot should be of high quality, or professionally prepared. Most casting offices & studios will simply dispose photographs that don't represent a minimum professional standard. Don't photocopy, or send snapshots, unless specifically requested to do so. Remember... the photograph is your first impression, and in many cases, your only impression. Make it a good one.
