Did you know that there are hundreds of Sydney-siders required for background acting roles in movies and TV series every month?

Imagine spending your spare time on the film set of a major Hollywood production like Pacific Rim 2 or Alien Covenant?

Imagine telling your friends and family that you appeared in the latest Peter Rabbit film or the latest Marvel superhero movie.

What about appearing on a TV series like Love Child, A Place to Call Home or Doctor Doctor?

MCTV people appear regularly in TV commercials too where the rates of pay can be astounding. It’s quite normal to be paid several thousand dollars for a TV commercial appearance.

Most of the time though, the pay is not so outrageous. Working as a background actor on a film or TV set usually pays $200-300 for eight hours work. Still a nice amount to have in your pocket for something that is so fun and interesting.

Our very own Iron Jay had almost no experience when he was selected for the crispy fish fingers campaign. He was paid for many appearances and even paid extra when they decided to re-run an old campaign.

If you can imagine yourself doing this kind of work and loving it, all you need to so is click here to apply. MCTV has placed more people in film and TV than any other talent agent in Australia.

It’s super easy to get started. There’s no experience necessary.

I’ve been with MCTV for a few years now and found them wonderful. I’ve had a much better experience than with my last agency and am particularly impressed by their management of my daughter through Joey’s

Within my first month, I’ve been considered 3 times, got an audition for a TVC, and then a call back. And even a job offer with a leading Bank.
I signed my children with the agency & while I was at the office, Paul gave us a casting for the kids the same afternoon.

M.C.T.V has been very good to me for over three years now! I do appreciate their efforts in finding me work in four major motion pictures and other jobs
