Cast With The Help Of Fishpond
Connecting Local Talent to a World of Opportunities
From Dublin’s streets to international studios, Fishpond has connected casting directors with established and emerging talent since 2008. Our work spans film, television, theatre, and commercials, with projects for Netflix, Apple TV, BBC, Disney+, and independent productions—many of which have earned award nominations and festival recognition.
Film: Casting for a Global Industry
Fishpond has helped cast a wide range of films, from Irish dramas to international thrillers. Productions filmed in Ireland, the UK, and across Europe rely on our platform to find actors who bring depth and authenticity to their stories.
Recent films like Bring Them Down (2024), starring Barry Keoghan and Colm Meaney, highlight Irish talent, while international productions like The Cut (2024), featuring Orlando Bloom and Caitríona Balfe, showcase Fishpond’s global reach.
Actors gain access to feature film roles in both local and international productions, while casters can quickly find the right talent. For young actors and their guardians, Fishpond provides a professional, age-appropriate space to explore opportunities.
Television: Casting for Screens Big and Small
From prestige dramas to long-running series, Fishpond has been behind the Irish casting of major TV productions. Shows like Bad Sisters (2022–2024), filmed in Dublin and distributed globally by Apple TV, The Tourist (2022–2024), shot in Ireland and Australia, and Netflix’s Wednesday (2022–2025) all feature actors sourced through Fishpond.
Television offers consistent work and career-building opportunities for performers, while casters benefit from an efficient way to source location-appropriate talent.
Theatre: Building Strong Performers
Live performance remains a core part of an actor’s craft, and Fishpond has been a part of casting local productions like the Gate Theatre in Dublin to London’s West End. Theatre-trained actors bring strong stage presence, character work, and vocal skills to screen roles, making them a valuable asset for casters.
Commercials: Casting for Visibility and Impact
Fishpond has helped cast high-profile commercials for Guinness, Tesco, Three Mobile, and more, with campaigns filmed across Ireland, the UK, and internationally.
For actors, commercials provide well-paid, high-visibility work. Casters can discover new talent or quickly find seasoned camera-ready professionals.
