TRUST ME- DO NOT HIRE THEM Worst company I have ever had an experience with. This company showed me how sad it is for the working Actor! The treatment by the payroll of this company is horrible. I was threatened by employees and toyed with by staff who is in charge? I was eventually paid due to reviews online NOT by actually Contratual agreements. DO NOT WORK WITH THIS COMPANY! & DO NOT HIRE FROM HERE! ✌

They don't pay their actors... I worked for Characters for Hire last year and I still haven't been paid for the events I worked. The entire team of actors I worked with have not seen a dime from this company either. I am a freelance artist, and I can say I have never worked with a more insulting and rude company. We were never paid, never fed during our 11 hour day, and never given costumes or told to bring any. This was one of the more humiliating gigs I've ever worked. If you are interested in investing your money into a company that treats their whole team well, I would not recommend this one. See below for written confirmation that they have well exceeded NYS labor laws.

My experience Our manager on site was incredible, a delight to travel and work with. Along with the cast! Phenomenal folks to work with. I was unsure of how the dynamic would be with a live audience of adults (while portraying fairy tail characters), and I’m afraid my hunch was correct. This dynamic was a bit awkward. I wish I was given a bit more insight on whether or not I was permitted to participate in explicit banter. Considering the circumstance, I had several wonderful interactions with guests, and an overall pleasant time. The hosts, party planners, and chefs were very welcoming and hospitable!

No guidance "on-site" No guidance "on-site". The 5 actors were not clear what was expected and we had to make up a lot of our responsibilities ourselves. No "point person" to ask for instructions from Characters-For-Hire and minimal guidance in advance. The make-up lady was fantastic!
