Features & Interests
You would be surprised how often we are approached by clients looking for niche interests and particular skills. Tell us about any sports you play, if you can sing, dance, play an instrument, or speak another language. Are you a puppeteer? Tattoo enthusiast? Part-time Santa Claus? You never know how disclosing a skill or hobby might help you land a role.
Do you have a driver’s Licence?
Some shoots take place in remote locations. Where public transport is not available, it is helpful to know if Talent can drive. Oftentimes, fuel or mileage is reimbursed by the client, although this may be dependent on the nature or location of the shoot.
Medical Information & Dietary requirements
We ask that you disclose any important medical information and dietary requirements in this section. This information will be stored securely. Please be aware that answering these questions honestly will not reduce your chances of being selected. It is important we have the information on file in the unlikely event there is an emergency on set. For instance, do you have asthma, heart problems, diabetes, epilepsy, mobility issues, or allergies?
Upload your CV
If you are a professional actor or model, please upload your performance CV below.
Please ensure it does not contain any personal information (phone, email, address, etc.).
Upload your photos
We ask that you upload new photos approximately once per year or upon noticeably changing your appearance (e.g., change of hairstyle, updated hair colour, new style of facial hair, etc.). This may increase your chances of getting selected for projects.
If you do not have a professional headshot, no problem! Simply follow our guidelines below:
Do’s
- Upload a headshot and full body shot
- Ensure photos are clear and in colour
- Take photos against a neutral background
- Rely on natural light where possible
- Look directly at the camera
- If wearing make-up, ensure it is minimal / natural
- Ensure the photo is neatly cropped
Do Not’s
- Wear a hat, sunglasses, or swimwear
- Submit bridal or graduation photos
- Submit group photos
- Submit inappropriate photos. If you attempt to upload photos wearing inappropriate clothing or featuring nudity, your application will be immediately denied and all future correspondence blocked.

Final Steps
To receive payment, you must be in possession of a valid PPSN or NIN, as well as a valid Irish working VISA (if applicable). Talent payments are processed via our Revenue-compliant payroll system. If you have a Private Limited Company, you are entitled to submit invoices. If you pay the majority of your annual taxes outside of the Republic of Ireland, please let us know as you may also be entitled to submit an invoice. If you do not possess a PPSN (ROI), NIN (NI), nor the right to work in Ireland, your application cannot be processed successfully.
