Ann Koskar agency. Has anyone heard of it/used it?

Hi.

My daughter has just been asked to join the books of Ann Koskar extras agency but everyone is telling me it's a scam as they are asking for a one off admin fee and headshots fee. Just wondering if anyone has used them or heard of them.

Extras agencies normally charge a fee. It's not one I have heard of.

The headshots through them is a bit of a red flag - most agencies are happy for you to use photographer of your choice unless they have a side deal with a particular one and either get a cut, or in some cases they have an 'agency style'.

Bear in mind that extras work is not acting and will not be considered as an acting credit... so fine to do if it's just for fun, but not if you are actively interested in an acting career.

Yes my DD has been on their books for a few years. She was an extra at pinewood for a film and did about 15 days work there. But mainly she’s done several one day things. It’s a one off fee and then about £30 a year for headshots and measurements. You have to be available often at short notice.
i was sceptical but they are quite reputable. Ann is no longer alive but I think her team has taken it over.

Her friends were extras in the Harry Potter films and Star Wars. It’s a lot of hanging around and don’t expect to see them on the screen unless you’re lucky. She did a job last year and because we had to travel and it was over so many hours I think she ended up with about £140 for the day. But another one was a short day and she ended up with about £70. And I think we’d spent about £30 on travel and parking for a costume fitting so only do it as a hobby.

I think she has been offered something a few times s year but sometimes it’s clashed with school and other commitments c
