talent & extras

Not all Czech women look like supermodels, and we mean that in a good way. We do have catwalk-ready beauties, if that's what your production needs, but you can also find every kind of look here. Local casting agents have years of experience supplying international films, music videos and commercials with faces of all ethnicities suitable for any project.

The Czech Republic is a multi-cultural, multi-lingual society whose populace is passionate about filmmaking. Visiting directors routinely praise local extras because they are engaged in the process, patient and prepared to do the work time and time again to get the shot just right.

If you like our extras, you'll love our actors. The Czech Republic is a country of film and theatre with hundreds of working actors skilled in languages as well as stagecraft. Prague's acting community also includes many native-English speakers who routinely work on international film productions.

Local talent also includes motivated and professional stunt crews which have enhanced such films as Casino Royale and Wanted. Czech stuntmen are also in demand abroad, having graced the crews on such productions as Gladiator, Troy, and Titanic.

Czech fight-scene specialists have demonstrated their expertise in Shanghai Knights, The Brothers Grimm and Messenger: The Story Of Joan Of Arc. Our special-effects crews have worked their magic on The Bourne Identity and Van Helsing, to name just two films.

And our talents are not limited to just people. The Czech Republic is also home to experienced animal trainers who have worked with livestock on international productions like The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian, Finding Rin Tin Tin, and The Messenger: The Story Of Joan Of Arc.
