NZ's most trusted & successful talent agency supplying talent nationwide since 1998

09 827-9995

BGT Actors Models & Talent is New Zealand’s leading film and TV talent agency established in 1998 by actress, accent coach, and former-casting director Sarah Valentine. When Lord of the Rings fever hit New Zealand, Sarah recruited over 300 extras in preparation. The agency she always wanted to start, to help other people's dreams come true, was then formed. BGT is regarded with an unsurpassed reputation.

Based in the thriving hub of West Auckland, BGT pride ourselves on a professional, ethical, friendly and attentive approach to talent casting. We supply talent for local and international TV series, short and feature films, music videos, documentaries and TV commercials for the national and international markets. If it’s shot in New Zealand, we usually have someone, somewhere being something.
