Where in new York can I find background and extra casting agencies?
Are there any agencies in San Francisco, CA. that primarily cast Background/Extras? Other than Beau Bonneau/SF Casting. I’m already with them. Is there any way that I can get a list of legitimate agencies in SF?
Thanks!
is there a good legit agent in Atlanta, Ga.?

Sherry, my sympathies, but you ended on a strong note, so i am encouraged by your words and plight. Have faith. God bless. Sami
Hey, this is Sherry of Millennium Casting. Sorry to say, some drunk ran into me and broke my neck and back so I no longer operate Millennium Casting. I had to burn all those wonderful pictures I’ve taken or received over the years and it made me cry. I’d like to thank each and everyone of you fantastic Background actors who allowed me to be part of your life and you part of mine. Now, go get jobs and break a leg…Love, Sherry
Sherry,
So sorry to hear about what happened. How are you? Don’t give up on your life. There are various things that can help you, you just have to research them. I’ve read hyperbaric chambers can get paralyzed people moving, at least while they are in the chambers and stem cell therapy is just starting to happen and there are numerous NFL football players whom doctors told would never walk again and they recovered and played pro football again. I have never worked with you, but I consider you one of the good guys in the industry helping people pursue their dreams. Awesome! Get well, get back into life.
Dean
November 23, 2019,
Hi, this is Sherry Aude formally of Millennium casting in Lancaster California. I just stumbled across this website and read the two emails from two gentlemen, named Sami and another gentleman named Dean. I just wanted to reach out to thank you for your kind words. They mean more to me than you know.
I know it’s been many many years since I’ve had the honor of working in the industry but it’s those memories of all the wonderful background players as well as many of the crewmembers directors and producers that keeps me going. So many people complain about working and I would give anything to be able to work again but you can’t cry over spilled milk.
I pray that we are for all of my talent ended up that they treat you as the wonderful people that you are and that you were finding success be at small or large in the movie industry.
God bless each and everyone of you and thank you again for believing in me because that was for some of the happiest years of my life.
Love to each and everyone of you, Sherry
Dean, Thank you for your kind words. They really brightened my day. I didn’t even know this website existed as I’m only just getting back into utilizing the Internet after years and years of pretty much being out of it.
You state that you did not ever work with me, so mad inquire as to You heard about me and why do you think I’m one of the good guys, which I really attempted to be because I cared about each and everyone of the people that entrusted me and obtaining them work.
Again thank you so very much . Happy Thanksgiving, Sherry
