I'm an Actor and Characters for Hire gives you the Opportunity to be Free and live in your Moment. I played a WWE All Star Wrestler for a kids Birthday it was Fun and I made an Impact in the child's life. What more could you ask for? Thanks for Everything until the Next Gig.

The Haunted Halloween Trail - What a BLAST!!! The first time my true personality - the MAD Scientist - was able to come out. The makeup artists didn't have to do a thing to enhance my freaky features - although a zippered gash on the forehead was a nice touch! These folks really know how to throw a party to thrill your guests. I am very pleased with their professionalism and quality service to their clients and as an actor, hope to work with them on future events.

First time working for Characters for Hire, and had a great time! Kevin and Angela were easy to communicate with and available to answer questions that arose. I’m so grateful to be working with a company that holds high professional standards, uses thorough business contracts and can offer me many roles as I do a variety of character performances! As a freelancer it’s awesome to have a company that helps book work with fun opportunities and you know has your back.

Yesterday, I worked with Characters for Hire on a Halloween event in Pennsylvania. They made sure that everyone was covid-tested and safe. The company and talent created a memorable experience for the client and the visitors.

This was a howling, GREAT-time, Haunted Trail Halloween extravaganza put on by Characters for Hire! They had a very well organized project team that not only provided AWESOME makeup artists to transform us (the actors) into a ghoulishly, creepy cast of characters but also took care of every detail with props and sets of the Haunted Trail to elicit plenty of screams from the party guests - young & old - and a good time was had by all with lots of compliments from the guests on their "scary" experience. This was my 1st experience working with Characters for Hire. I am excited for an opportunity to work with them again. These folks put on a very high-quality entertainment event that any actor would be proud to have on their resume. Great venue to exercise your improv skills - at least on this gig, we had full rein to carry our characters to their fullest potential of our imagination. WHAT FUN!!! I was a wicked, scary Witch! AAH - HAHAHAHAHA
