Our Team,
Our Community

The Actor's Community (The AC) are a global group of award winning actors and industry professionals who work in film, television, and theatre .

​

Our AC Ambassadors, including BAFTA & Oscar winners, provide mentorship in the form of classes and one to one sessions and are fully established in the industry with the shared goal of helping others.

​

The AC's mission is to remove barriers between emerging talent and established talent, sharing insights that are often kept behind closed doors, giving everyone a fairer shot at a career doing what they love. 

​

We offer a safe space for actors to explore and experiment, and for film makers to take their projects to the next level, providing a wide range of services led by industry professionals.

​

Whether you are looking to explore new types of roles, keep focused on upcoming projects or are just starting out in your screen career, the AC is a place where you can grow, connect with likeminded creatives, and continue to build a strong foundation of skills and a powerful network.
