The Young Actors Company Agency

The Young Actors Company Agency has been representing young actors and creating opportunities to work professionally for over 25 years.

With strong connections in all areas of the entertainment industry, the Agency works in association with The Young Actors Company to offer professional representation. Our Agency represents young actors aged 5-21 and specialises in TV, film, theatre, radio, voiceover and commercials. Our young actors will be submitted via Spotlight and will be given the opportunity to have a professional headshot when joining the company in order to maximise chances of not only obtaining exciting auditions, but to increase the chances of getting on professional stages and sets including; Eastenders (BBC), The Crown (Netflix), The Third Day (Sky Atlantic), Artemis Fowl (Disney) and Dumbo (Disney).

We will work with our Young Actors and parents every step of the way from submission to audition to production to ensure a fun, safe and educational experience. Our Young Actors have also appeared in; Man Down (Avalon), Doctors (BBC), Sherlock (BBC), Uncle (BBC), Grantchester (ITV), Waterloo Road (BBC)

  • Leigh McDonald

    Agent

    Leigh went to Guildford School of Acting from 1987 to 1990, and then went on to be a jobbing actor working in musical theatre, straight theatre and cabaret for 23 years.

    In 2012, during her time at The Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester, she decided that treading the boards eight times a week away from home was no longer the way forward. Instead, she now runs her own cabaret act, Mac&Eden, with her friend – singer songwriter Joanna Eden, playing one nighters and a few different Festivals, (winning best cabaret act at the Brighton Festival 2016), alongside working as the Casting and PR Manager at The Young Actors Company. Cabaret and casting are a perfect fit!
