Success Stories

I was cast in the role of PC Hannah Bristol in the film The Broken Teeth of Lions directed by Chris Marshall and produced by BAFTA award winning and Oscar nominated Chris Hees. It was an amazing experience with a great cast and crew and PC Bristol was a great part.

A week after joining StarNow I was an extra in the Channel 4 Show "Freshmeat" also I landed my own agent!

After applying to represent NZ at WCOPA 2011 and receiving a raft of gold medals, it put my career back on track. Dreams can become reality, you just need to take the steps to make it happen. I've had a write up in a national magazine & Marlaina's Kitchen FB Page now has 24k followers. 'A Seasoning' will be released 2016.

I started modelling in 2009 with some basic TVC work following that. In 2014 I landed the lead male role in a feature film shot in New Zealand. The director found my profile on StarNow, got in touch and offered me the role! Touring NZ to film was a wonderful experience. Seeing myself on the big screen was a real kick too! It was a dream come true.

Since 2013 when I started my YouTube channel The Whole Shebang, I have always used Starnow to cast all my comedy sketches. It's free and easy to use. I now have shot six episodes of my new comedy web series "Crooked Valley" - Starnow has helped me find some excellent actors and meet some wonderful people along the way.

I was chosen to play the part of Annas one of the Sanhedrin, in the most amazing and moving story of the crucifixion, from the last supper upto the resurrection. 3 months of intense rehearsals came together in a most spectacular performance in the unique setting of Manchester Cathedral gardens. It was watched and enjoyed by thousands.

Last year through StarNow I got a great opportunity to be in Red Ryan, a short film where I played the role of a young Ernest Hemingway. That lead me to be cast in a lead role in the Black Donnelly's movie. Thanks again StarNow, you guys have been great, couldn't do it without you.

I have been cast by a modelling agency - Orange Models - and I have been cast for commercials. I have also been contacted by an agent to take part in the Mrs. Canada beauty pageant. This is really exciting. Thank you so much as this has been made possible by StarNow.

New to acting, I joined StarNow hoping for extras work. I have had some amazing experiences not only as an extra but also feature roles in a few films. I have especially enjoyed being chosen for a six-episode series of "The Jury Room" A First Look TV production for CBS reality TV last year. I'm hoping to move further with my future career!

Joining StarNow has opened doors for me. I have been cast as an extra in a National Film & Television School graduation film, in a music video with rapper and grime artist, SlowThai, and more!

I auditioned for the new Australian musical "In Like Flynn The Musical" on StarNow. Excited to be part of an amazing cast when the show premieres next weekend.
