Pete Hellier is hosting a new game show featuring two teams of comedians as they test test their memories across a series of general knowledge categories. Our stand-ins were there to help with the rehearsals prior to the recording in front of the studio audience. We often have stand-ins attend reality tv shows, the have to fit the rough build and colouring of the stars of the show so that the lighting sound and camera crew get a chance to rehearse camera positions before the live show. In this case, our team got to stay on set for the filming too as part of the studio audience.

Mr Inbetween is about a charismatic hitman Ray Shoesmith who also juggles the demands of being a dad, spending time with his mates and perhaps even having a love life. It’s the the first Aussie crime drama produced in this country by FX. Ray Shoesmith was a character in a mockumentary called The Magician a few years back, you can check out the trailer below.

Advertisers are now using web series to help promote their brands. The mockumentary Avalon Now was an extremely successful campaign for Domain and that means there will be many more series just like it. For people working in film and TV, it’s great news. More content gets funded so there are more creative outlets and more jobs. Just this week we sent a handful of actors off to shoot a new web series but we are expecting these productions to get bigger, better and more frequent. If you missed Avalon Now you can check out the trailer below.

The Other Guy follows “a successful radio host who finds himself unexpectedly back in the dating pool for the first time in a decade, after discovering his long-term girlfriend has been having an affair with his best friend”. Perhaps you remember the star of the series Matt Okine, former breakfast host for triple J. 65 of our MCTV actors have joined him in background and featured roles for this new series premiering on Stan on August 17.

A huge congratulations to Johanna for her lead role as an accountant in this H&R Block Commercial. Johanna joined our agency in January this year and has been landing background roles in a variety of productions including Bundaberg Rum, NRL, The Checkout, Top of the Lake, Pulse, Love Child, AHM, Suncorp, Woolworths, Commbank, Doctor Doctor, The Secret Daughter and now she has her first main role in a TV Commercial. In my humble opinion, she has done a fantastic job. We look forward to many more great roles Johanna.
