Characters for hire never paid for character work. At time of hire 6/30 I was promised payment of $250 by July 7/8 for work performed 7/4. Never paid. Weak excuses. I will sue in small claims court. I will be posting the complaints I file and the court action status updates here.

Despite taking long to send payment on my end & just a 2 week deadline to get us 40 actors, the team not only delivered, but knocked it out of the park! Extremely impressive communication & the director who “Characters for Hire” supplied, Mike, was so passionate & so hands on that he made my job 10x easier. Couldn’t recommend “Characters for Hire” enough! Will use them every time! c/o Jovian

I never understood how powerful the song “My Way” (something from my father’s generation) was until I worked on it for this company. These are actors helping other actors and performers.
