Our philosophy in designing this web site is to provide you (the user) with tools that are simple and easy to use, yet extremely complete and powerful. We've also designed the database to be a comprehensive "global village" (to coin a phrase) of actors and actresses. You are accessing a true database, not a loosely connected series of pages. Any information you request is generated "on demand". All our efforts are devoted to making this the Screenactors' Database. Consequently, you won't see any useless, cutesy graphics or worthless flashing banners.
What you will see is a valuable "tool of the trade".


What is SCREENACTORS.COM and what's in it for me?

Put very simply, it's a resume service for actors and actresses - but it's much more than that, since it offers services for producers, directors, agents, AND actors.

Face it. Now that the Internet is a reality, the days of "paper publication" are numbered. Why bother with large bulky catalogs or volumes of postage-stamp-size headshots (that may be out of date by the time you get them) when you can tap into the World Wide Web and search for an actor or actress with the press of a button?

Why should a producer, director, or casting director pay for these large (sometimes out-of-date) books on a quarterly basis when they can log in FREE anytime (24 hours per day) and get current information and photos that are updated by the actor or actress whenever their resume or photos change. All of this maintained in a full-featured database. If a producer or director is looking for that "next star" or someone with that "special look" or just a room full of "background", it's all here RIGHT NOW. And it doesn't matter whether the producer / director is in Hollywood or India, or whether the actor is in San Francisco or London - the database is GLOBAL.

How do AGENTS benefit ?

Say goodbye to couriers, overnight delivery, and phone tag. If your clients are "posted" with www.screenactors.com, you can "show" them to producers and casting directors right on the phone - right now. Just direct them to log on to www.screenactors.com and you can pitch them while you are both looking at the head shot / resume. If you get a "hot casting tip" you can move on it NOW.

If you've got several clients you want to pitch, direct them to your agency database* at www.screenactors.com and show them thumbnails of everyone you've got who might fit the role.

If your clients want to post optional VIDEO and / or AUDIO files, you can conduct a "mini-audition" - on the spot. Even your "hard-to-sell" clients will get a look.

If you get a nod for one or more of your clients, you (or they) can download the SIDES from www.screenactors.com (if the producer has provided them). We have made it very simple for producers to upload their SIDES.

All in all, you'll get much more done and be twice as effective doing it.

* All agents who have 20 or more clients posted with www.screenactors.com receive a FREE agency database page (a "home" page) with a custom search engine designed to display ONLY their clients. Until December 31, 1996, the nominal setup fee ($150) for the custom search engine is WAIVED.

Is there any cost involved?

There is NO COST for an agency database "home" page, provided the agency has at least 20 clients "posted" on www.screenactors.com. As long as the agency has at least 20 clients represented, there will NEVER be any charge for us to maintain the agency's page, which includes a custom search engine that will only return that agency's clients.

Until December 31, 1996, even the nominal ($150) search engine programming charge is WAIVED. So, until December 31st, the agency's cost is absolutely NOTHING.

Each actor pays a small monthly subscription charge for maintaining their resume / photo. Those charges can be found here.

Can you offer any group discounts to my clients?

Yes !!! Between now and December 31, 1996, we are offering aggressive discounts for "group" subscriptions of 20 or more actors. Any agency (or group) who posts 20 or more actors at one time, paid with one check (or credit card transaction) receives an additional discount of $15 off of EACH annual subscription. That is a savings of over 30% off the normal annual subscription of $102.

This special annual rate of $70 brings the actor's monthly cost to $5.83 - quite a bargain. NOTE: this is for "auto-posting" online. If you wish us to manually post their data and scan their photo, a one-time setup fee of $35 (each actor) will still apply. Group setup discounts can be negotiated on a case by case basis. Please EMAIL us with the specifics.
