The “CEO” of this company, Kevin Mack, calls me at 9:30pm to say, “You’re a moron”. I haven’t even worked for him or signed a contract! Lol. Let’s go back to see how this started… I submitted to be an extra via Casting Networks for the San Diego Comic-Com event titled in the contract, “Weiner Event”. I was told text Angela Moore if you’re interested. Which I did on July 5th, I never received a response until I followed up on July 17th. She said they were booked then all of a sudden a spot opened up a few hours later. I mention I’m NU and she asks for my email then sign a contract under the next hour. I get an email from Kevin Mack with the contract that I didn’t sign because it seemed sketchy. Boy did I wish I came across this page beforehand. He then decided to call me at 9:30pm today to ask why I didn’t sign the contact. Keep in mind I never seen this number or knew who this was beforehand. He proceeds to call me a moron and hangs up right before I can respond. Who does that? Let alone the cuck, I mean owner, of the company? I don’t know if he needs to go back to AA or what but that was very unprofessional. I get that I should’ve responded saying I couldn’t go. But I don’t need some random guy telling me I’m a moron at 9:30pm lol. Big shout out to Angela Moore, his other workers, and family who has to put up with him. Best of luck to everyone who reads this, including you big Kev!

I worked for Characters for Hire last year and I still haven't been paid for the events I worked. The entire team of actors I worked with have not seen a dime from this company either. I am a freelance artist, and I can say I have never worked with a more insulting and rude company. We were never paid, never fed during our 11 hour day, and never given costumes or told to bring any. This was one of the more humiliating gigs I've ever worked. If you are interested in investing your money into a company that treats their whole team well, I would not recommend this one. See below for written confirmation that they have well exceeded NYS labor laws.

We were thrilled to find Characters for Hire for our client's event. Our client wanted "King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn". The actors are very talented and stayed in character the whole time. They entertained the guests and posed for photos, and King Henry even helped us with getting the guests seated quickly! It was PERFECT and our client was very, very pleased. We look forward to working with Characters for Hire again! Sorelle Group

I would like to express my appreciation for the help in planning a skit for my daughter's wedding. I especially would like to thank NIck Sarelli at Characters for hire for his professionalism, expertise and help. Nick we all wish there were more people like you who understand the needs of customers like me who want to make an events special. Thank you Nick. I will surely come back to Characters for Hire in the future.

I was thrilled with the professionalism and level of my fellow actors on the gig I worked on. As for management, texts were answered promptly, something that is certainly not always the case with casting companies. I would be happy to work with them again.

Great time , much fun, costumes are cool

My experience working with Characters for Hire was fantastic. They communicated with me, they booked my hotel and flight quickly and everything ran so smooth. I would work with CFH in a heartbeat if the opportunity ever presented itself, I really enjoyed everything. I would recommend them to anyone who was looking to work with them.

CFH was very professional and informative throughout the event. They were ALWAYS available for questions and ready with solutions for anything. Their business model and core values are far reaching by comparison to many companies I have worked with. I highly recommend!!
