PLEASE BRING A HARDCOPY PHOTOGRAPH such as a headshot or a 4x6 photo of yourself. ANY printed picture or hardcopy photo that is a current representation of you will work; even a business card with your picture is sufficient. In addition, at the Jeff Olan Casting office, we will take a digital photo that will be put into our computer database. This photo will be the one that is used for submissions for work, so please come in looking your best. For men we suggest a suit or shirt and tie. For women we suggest corporate casual attire. For young adults we suggest a casual outfit without logos, patterns or anything too bright. We want to make your submission photo the best we can because you never get a second chance to make a first impression!

Please note that we do not accept e-mailed or digital photos for our internal database for either registration or updates.

 OTHER INFORMATION:

• You must be 18 or older to register with Jeff Olan Casting, Inc. but we can recommend agencies in the Los Angeles area that do cast children.

• Jeff Olan Casting, Inc is not an agent, and Jeff Olan Casting is not your employer.

• Jeff Olan Casting, Inc is strictly a service to the producers. You are responsible for your agent's fee (if you have one), as it is understood that you are an independent contractor to Jeff Olan Casting, Inc. when you are placed on one of our sets.

• Since Jeff Olan Casting is not your employer, all employment insurance claims from the EDD will be returned stating that JOC is not your employer.
