Uni-versal Extras Reviews 

Having joined this company this year even after a friend of mine warned me against it. I have not had any work from this company compared to other agencies I will not recommend this company in getting any work. I am aware that they offer the second year free if no work has been found in the first year. Very disappointing.

New to the “extras” scene and simply bowled over by the team at UniversalExtras. Brilliant comms, help and advice, quick responses. Thank you for making the journey to TV and Film easy and enjoyable.

#5* ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely appalling experience. There has been no response whatsoever to my emails and seemingly no customer service when it comes to asking about a refund.

Paid £25 to join and have repeatedly applied for roles where I match exactly what they are asking for, yet I have not been contacted about a single opportunity. Have now emailed twice asking for clarification and a refund and have been completely ignored.

At this point, it feels like they are more than happy to take your money but have no interest in responding once you have paid. The complete lack of communication is unacceptable and extremely frustrating.

I joined after UVE was recommended and heavily promoted to me but based on my experience I absolutely would not recommend them to anyone. Save your money and go elsewhere.

I recently had the pleasure to work on Meantime through
Uni-versal Extras. Thank you for the opportunity to work on such a great production. The staff at Uni-versal Extras
are very easy to contact as they are only a phone call away and they actually do answer their phones which is quite a rarity when it comes to casting Agencies now.
Their App is very easy to navigate and manage. One suggestion I would make is that It would be great if there was somewhere on the App to put a second Address.
Some Jobs require you to live in London and most people have friends or family that they can stay with.
They send through loads of Jobs through there App which are very easy to apply for.

From arrival to departure, I was in the Rapture of the whole experience, as it was full on.
As an SA it was actually brilliant to be rehearsing chants in morning to rehearsals after lunch and then final takes in afternoon.
I had worked (Gone - ITV) with 2nd AD that picked me out before.

She is a keen spotter and I was pleased she spotted my commitment to role as follower.

We were active from start to finish and that was extremely rewarding.
Having seen the final edit on BBC I am very proud to have been a part.

Everything was well organised, from arriving to getting into costume and makeup and transportation to the film set. We knew what was required from us, and we had a lovely time despite Swansea's hot weather. I want to do more acting roles from UVE, they're consistent and give great communication. Plus, the crew and staff looked after us and made sure we were well fed. I look forward to working with you again!

My experience with Uve Artists so far has been incredibly smooth. I’ve already been offered jobs through the platform, and the support throughout the entire process has been fantastic. Their communication and customer service—from the moment a job is offered until it is fully completed—is absolutely top-notch.
The app itself is highly straightforward and user-friendly, with no confusing or cluttered sections. Additionally, whenever I’ve had to speak to them, the staff on the phone have been consistently polite, professional, and helpful. Highly recommend!

Many thanks to the background (supporting) artist agency "UVE Artists" for the opportunity to see myself on screen in three episodes of the film *The Rapture*—specifically episodes 4 and 5. I look forward to continuing my collaboration with the company.

Amazing agents. Professional and they call you which is unusual these days. The work is varied, interesting and the best. I have worked on some amazing productions for years.
Thank you so much Chris and team x

Brilliant cast, crew and supporting cast
I had a great time on set even though we were dressed portraying a heatwave and in real life it was really cold!
Main cast were so accommodating, even when I had a coughing fit and spoilt the scene , they were so lovely to me and so professional
Thoroughly enjoyed the series on Tv and pleased to see I made an appearance in episode 2!
Thank you for a great experience ❤️

Great experience filming for The Rapture in Cardiff. We were given clear communications and directions and well looked after - good food and umbrellas provided against the torrential rain!

Friendly crew and principals on the day that I was there and thoroughly enjoyed the experience , and you’re right the finished project on screen was a pleasure to watch .

Excellent introduction to the “filmextra” experience. People were very friendly and helpful. Was kept busy throughout the day and enjoyed it immensely.

Working on The Rapture was a fantastic experience, from the contact with UVA to the production staff on set, a truly professional and highly enjoyable day.
Can’t wait to work with you all again in the future

It was a great experience on The Rapture - now watching it on TV.
Location was perfect for me in WsM.

I had a really positive first experience with Uni-versal Extras.

The set was exciting, the energy was great, and everything felt professional and well organised from start to finish — which made it a brilliant introduction to being on set as a supporting artist.

It was especially exciting to be part of an upcoming BBC series due to be released in 2027, and I’m genuinely grateful for the opportunity and the experience.

Right now I’ve been shortlisted for one job and pencilled in for another — I can’t wait to get back out there!

Overall, I had a great time and would happily work with Uni-versal Extras again.

UVE helped me to be able to perform on set as a newbie supporting artiste. Very supportive.

a super story, i was happy to look like my dad and meet lots of other top people , i enjoyed the storyline i was involved in but heartbroken when asked back, i was filming elsewhere

I Was sent work for the following day . For the film Killa Bee. Directions & communication were spot on . Treated well & was asked to be right in shot for Trailer . Work is consistently messaged when specific roll matches too .
