Animal casting agency looking for new clients

'Animal Casting Atlanta' is looking for new talent to join their animal talent agency.

Is your pet ready for the spotlight?  'Animal Casting Atlanta' is looking for new talent to join their animal talent agency.

The company has had their animals featured in HBO’s “Watchmen,” “The Hunger Games,” “Ozark,” “Black Panther,” “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Endgame,” just to name a few.

'Animal Casting' will be holding an open casting call for animals on Saturday Dec. 14, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Atlanta Dogworks located at 1690 Julius Bridge Road in Ball Ground.

Atlanta is home to several film and television shows. And the business of acting is open to animals.

Earlier this year, 11Alive met Maggie The Horse, fresh off her appearance on CW’s “Legacies." Zip was once a homeless dog who went on to a career in film.

Steve Beren has been an animal trainer for 40 years. His animals have starred in commercials ranging from Pup-Er-Oni to Kibbles and Bits -- even the silver screen.

Beren said animal acting is a hidden gem right now in Atlanta and opportunities are booming. If you want your pet to shine, he said it's important to learn the business.

"Once you get on set, thousands of dollars are spent. So if that animal isn't performing, people aren't happy," he said. "Find a trainer, spend time with them and learn how to train. Learn about the business and it’s like an apprentice. Try to learn from someone who has done it for a while."
