Uni-versal Extras Reviews 

My experience was great

simply because all the production team, hair and makeup and DAs were so polite and spoke to me. Asked my name.

Was amazing staff, polite directors and ads were amazing everyone on the set was very helpful and polite, I loved all the support while filming and loved the experience and hopefully get some more amazing experiences with some great cast and crew again and hopefully it shows on tv how hard we worked can’t wait to watch it ☺️

Thank you to the UE casting team for getting me some great jobs. They handled all comms with professionalism and were always ready to help.

Universal Extras is a great agency to work with.
Always keep you up dated with the necessary details as in call times etc. Highly recommended.

A brilliant day on set . All SA’s used on all the scenes so busy all day . Lovely cast and crew . Everyone kind and helpful. Thanks UVE for putting me forward .

Complete waste of time !
I paid and registered with them a year ago and despite having numerous “pencilled in” jobs I have never had any work at all. Just seems like a scam to get people to part with a registration fee and then randomly send them “opportunities” which never materialise. Maybe they just use their old favourites?

I was sceptical of UVE after reading the reviews but having just completed my first job I have completely changed my view. UVE kept me updated throughout the process and the app was intuitive to use after a bit of getting used to it. The whole process was very rewarding and can’t fault UVE on their regular prompts and assistance. A positive can do attitude helps hugely.

The time taken by the full time staff to make me welcome and feel part of a team .

I want to extend my thanks to the team for booking me on a recent film project. It was my first project with UVE. All the production staff were fabulous. Following my costume fitting, unbeknownst to me, I was recommended for a featured spot alongside a supporting actor, who was interacting with the principal lead. Great experience. I look forward to more projects with this agency.

The Agency that first opened the door for me to this industry! It's been 2 years and I'm still happy to work with Universal Extras! The team is professional, supportive and friendly 🥰 I always get answers to my questions in emails, which I really appreciate. UVE takes into account my needs and coordinates all issues with the Production in my interests! The work I got through the Agency was fantastic with good pay, for which I am grateful to the Production! I took part in various famous projects with interesting roles (one of my favourites is playing a character from the Victorian era). All the production teams were very caring, friendly, supportive, so being on the set was a real pleasure💗

I’ve had a great experience working with Universal Extras! Through them, I’ve had the chance to be part of 3 BBC dramas and even featured in the Adidas x Newcastle advert, which was an amazing experience.

The whole process has always been really smooth — communication is clear, the team are friendly and supportive, and everything on set is well-organised. I’ve genuinely enjoyed every job I’ve done with them and always look forward to the next opportunity.

I’d definitely recommend Universal Extras to anyone wanting to get involved in film, TV, or adverts. It’s been such a fun and rewarding experience working with them!

As an actor I deeply loved working with Universal Extra’s and I hope todo so soon.

Unlike some of the agencies, they actually take the time to email you back, with detail and humanity.

Thanks

Awful app. Gave up—waste of time.

Last week had my first role after about 3 months of being unsuccessful for a number of roles ,
The agency I found to be excellent in all respects , giving full directives of the requirements for the production. communication through out was first class , on the day the whole experience was amazing from start to finish ,working with well organised professionals .

I was blown away by the on-set crew and staff sheer dedication, hard work ethic and their expertise..
I felt honoured and appreciated to be on set, doing my roles and to witness their professionalism.

I thought were very well looked after, all our individual dietary requirements were catered for very well.
Refreshments were always available for those who needed them and so forth.

After my first amazing on-set experience with Universal Artist, I hope to get selected again in the future.

I loved being on the set and meeting with people who has a few years of experience as background artists..The film crew will organised.. placing people on the right filming Set,

Great support and follow up to bookings. Like all Agencies they can not guarantee artistes are selected, that’s up to production. When you do get a booking their follow up and support for the booking and payment have been great. Thank You 😊

I had a wonderful week on set through UVE. A personal phone call for the initial booking was a nice touch and the flow of information for the fitting & filming days was of a very good standard. Whilst on set the SA’s were treated really well. I felt valued & respected by the entire production team throughout. It was amazing to receive positive feedback, again personally by phone, after we had wrapped my part of the production. The role went from minor feature to full on character part and I still can’t quite believe it happened. A fantastic week amongst many during my second career as an SA and I can’t wait for my next opportunity!

I have been ‘signed up’ for about a year and a half and got no offers. I paid 60GBP for membership. I met someone who told me that any extras agency who ask you for money must be scammers. I see here on trustpilot that there are far more bad reviews than good for Uni-versal Extras. Not a good sign. They will not refund my money. Don’t fall for this one !

I had my first job this week as a double and I have to say what an amazing day it was I was looked after so well from start to finish Alice in particular was great , so helpful I couldn’t help but think how lovely kind and helpful everyone was and I hope I’m lucky enough to work with such a great team again
