How do I add or link my agent on Showcast?
Once you have a signed agent, go to Profile → Agent and add their details. Your agent can then manage submissions on your behalf through their agent portal.
Showcast has a structured agent relationship — your agent must be registered on Showcast for the link to work properly.
To link your agent:
- Log in and go to Profile → Agent Info (or Representation).
- Start typing your agent or agency name — registered Showcast agents will appear in a dropdown.
- Select them and save.
- Your agent's portal now shows you on their roster.
If your agent isn't in the dropdown:
They may not have a Showcast agent account. Ask them to set one up — most AU/NZ agents are already on Showcast, but some smaller or newer ones aren't.
What your agent can do once linked:
- See your full profile as CD-facing.
- Submit you for breakdowns from their agent portal.
- Manage your availability updates.
- Receive casting notifications about roles where you've been shortlisted.
Self-representation:
If you're self-represented, list that status. Don't leave the agent field blank — casting filters sometimes skip profiles with no representation info at all (they look unfinished).
Changing agents:
Remove your old agent connection first (Profile → Agent → Remove) before linking to a new one. Showcast doesn't allow multiple conflicting agent links.
For commercial work:
Some actors have a theatrical agent and a separate commercial agent in Australia. Showcast supports this — add both with their category noted.
