How Does It Work

Extra Ordinary Casting is a unique and completely FREE service to people in production and casting.
We offer you a wide and diverse database of disabled people who are interested in being on screen.
There are approximately 8.7 million people in the UK with a disability and only 20% are born with their disability, 80% will acquire it later in life.
Broadcasters are now conscious to ensure their programmes contain a mix of gender and race. However, an accurate representation of our society needs to include a wide range of disabilities too.
BBC, ITV, C4, Five, BSkyB, Discovery Networks Europe, Turner Broadcasting System, the UK Film Council, Producers Alliance for Cinema and Television (PACT), and the Central Office of Information are all committed to increase the presence of disabled people on air and on screen.
Call us on 0117 3706309 to discuss your casting needs, we can then talk you through the process and add your opportunity to our site, email all our members, or if you have a specific brief, we can select members and email their profiles to you.
You can either email us
