Has anyone heard of/used the Uni-versal extras agency? The website looks legit, and their terms and conditions seem reasonable (no upfront fees, they take 15% of your fee) but I just want to see if anyone's had any experience with them before I give them my details!

Yes heard alot

Doesn't sound good......

Yeah is that a bad heard a lot shortguy?!

I'm with them (amongst others). Haven't had much tho - one day on a feature in a year. You do have a fee up front tho if you're an adult but it is only £12 & thats it. You have to supply your own pics.

I know they haven't done themselves any favours with the open casting for Les Mis.....other agencies & legit background folks are not happy with them for doing this at all. I think there are other much better extras agencies to be with if you're over 16, but nothing much to lose if you register with them.

Ah okay, thanks Gypsy Mum! I was going to apply for their student section where you don't have to pay... but what other extras agencies would you recommend? I tried to sign up with the Casting Collective but their site seems to be down for maintenance :?

Most only recruit about once a year. Casting Collective is about October time

If you are on Facebook thre are some interesting sites if you search for extras
