About Us

Doing Things Different

We approach this industry from a unique perspective.

For Actors:

Starting out as actors in NYC and LA, we understand and sympathize with our talent. Which is why we encourage our actors to grow and make concerted efforts to keep our eyes open to that growth. By attending performances at local theaters, visiting classes in town and inspiring our talent to come in and perform monologues from time to time, we create an awareness of ability and range.

We also open doors for our talent not only in Colorado, but on a national level. Through our connections in other professional markets such as NM, NYC & LA we have had many success stories develop from our talent pool. In addition to sending our actors out, we also bring producers, directors, and casting directors in. Our actors have had the opportunity to work with industry pros like Kathryn Brink, Jo Edna Boldin, Pat McCorkle, Joe Cacaci, Jay Thomas, Dan Lauria, Wendy Malick, Rob Moran, Zen Gessner, Judith Joyce, Jean Scoccimarro and many more.

For Producers:

As producers, writers and directors ourselves, we know the constrains of time and budget as well as the desire to produce top notch works. We ensure our talent are prepared, professional, on time and ready to work. Our reputation remains solid as a fair and honest agency. With over 20 years in business, you can be assured we will be here to meet your needs and provide the best service and talent in town for all mediums; print, on-camera, theatre, voice over and spokespeople.

For the Future:

With the original goal in mind of creating a “Studio Without Walls” in Denver, Big Fish is moving on towards the next phase of development, the packaging of talent with professional theatre, ﬁlm and television productions. Stay tuned!
