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! ✌

Very satisfied and would definitely use… Very satisfied and would definitely use services again. As an event coordinator, most often we have to think outside the box and do so many different tasks at one time with so many moving parts. At the end, you can’t afford anything to go wrong and everything must be on point. Working with them was very easy and painless. You asked and it was received. They did an absolutely wonderful job from start to finish. Truly professional, a great actor, and our actor Nic the audience loved him. Nic was flawless and very engaging with our audience. He did a wonderful job. Happy Customer, Gladys Harrison, USPS

Working with the kids was fun Had issues with payment after working a gig. After reading many reviews from people who mentioned they hadn’t been paid, I became paranoid and a bit agitated. But they actually worked with me to ensure that I was paid in spite of the payment processing challenges.

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.

Great company to work for on projects I have worked a couple of projects with this team and it has been a pleasant experience! Being in this industry, patience is required and communication. They are transparent and if there's a misunderstanding, they are quick to respond and talk through... I do my job as expected and stay in touch with them through the process, if any changes they are quick to inform. I look forward to working with them again in future projects.
