Success Stories

I started out in PR, then realised I wanted to be a presenter so I went into production thinking it would help me to get there. Unfortunately, it didn't but it gave me a great understanding of productions and the media so in January 2017, I quit my full-time job to become a full-time presenter. Now I do it for a living and I am loving life!

I needed a performer for an incredible animatronic costume of 'Tooth' from 'Rise of the Guardians'. Thanks to StarNow I now have a fantastic and committed actress who is just 4'9" tall! Our 'Tooth' has become a star and has delighted thousands at shows across the UK. I hope we can persuade DreamWorks to make a sequel.

An application on StarNow led to me being cast a Stormtrooper in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. My role as the 'Squad Leader Mudtrooper' in the Movie 'SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY' made it to all the Official Walt Disney Star Wars Solo story guide books. Original Lucas Film photography and movie footage of myself with collectible stickers.

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 spent 46 days filming in Canada for BBC and Nickelodeon as Thorne for TV series 'Splatalot'. I spent three years working on 'Harry Potter', filmed 'Little Dorrit' as the errand boy' - anything is possible!

I have only been a full member for two weeks and have managed to be shortlisted and now cast in a TV Ad for Aviva Insurance.

I've been modelling for just a year and I'm seeing myself in shop windows and travelling to places I wouldn't have dreamed of! Taking every opportunity that comes my way.

2017 was a great year for me. I did some modelling, was a TV extra, was part of the audience for live shows, and registered with a couple of agencies in London. My StarNow profile has gone from beginner to pro. I'm hoping 2018 is also going be a great year for me.

I got signed by an agency that found me on StarNow. This site is amazing and I am loving every moment me being here.

I am 47 and started a new career in modelling a year ago. I have already gained experience working on lifestyle shoots, stills to lingerie and have just finished my dream job working in the Bahamas with Ashley Graham and SwimSuitsForAll. I have embraced my natural white hair and love that it makes me stand out in a crowd.

What I first thought would be a one day shoot turned out to be three hours of shooting for a trailer. I was then offered more dates to do a film which ended up showing on Amazon Prime the following year!
