Mad Dog Casting Appoint Agent For Wales

News Image
Mad Dog Casting has recruited Vicki Sutton from Swansea to lead the Welsh based arm of Mad Dog Casting as Project Manager.
Vicki is based in London while she undergoes an intensive induction and training period but will be moving back to Wales later this year to take up the role based in Mad Dogs Cardiff office. Vicki has previously worked in casting and talent agencies including a 3 month appointment with Mad Dog in 2009. Vicki is passionate about the Welsh film and television industry, and is looking forward to getting involved.
Mad Dog Casting worked with the Welsh Film and TV Industry last year on many projects including Da Vincis Demons, Dr Who and Being Human.
Her arrival follows on from the commitment Mad Dog made during 2012 to build its Welsh operation, providing employment opportunities for people in Swansea, Cardiff and the surrounding areas, and meeting the needs of the Welsh Television and Film Industry.
Mad Dog currently has some 3000 people registered for work in the Mid West region to ensure it can cover all of the wide and varied requests it receives, from crowds of 1000 to specific nationalities, ethnicities and skills. During 2012 Mad Dog supplied a 30 strong Russian speaking male choir for a film, 300 Chinese people for Skyfall and vampire Twins!
Vicki said: "I am really excited to be working for Mad Dog Casting. I am looking forward to the challenges of meeting the many and varied requests which come in and maintaining the reputation Mad Dog has for providing extras in a stress free way."
