About Celex Casting

Behind every memorable scene is a world filled with real people—and that is where Celex Casting comes in.

Established in 1999, Celex Casting Ltd is one of the Midlands’ most experienced and trusted casting agencies. We connect film, television and commercial productions with professional, reliable supporting artists who help bring every scene to life.

With more than 25 years of industry experience, we understand that successful casting is about much more than simply filling a space. It is about finding the right people, communicating clearly and making sure every booking runs as smoothly as possible—from the first availability check to the final wrap.

Over the years, Celex has supplied supporting artists for a wide range of well-known television productions, including Adolescence, Midsomer Murders, Silent Witness, Doctors, Father Brown, The Sister Boniface Mysteries and Shakespeare & Hathaway.

Our artists have worked on productions for major broadcasters, including the BBC and ITV, as well as commercial campaigns for brands such as Safestyle, Jet2 and AvailableCar.

From continuing dramas and period productions to contemporary television and national advertising campaigns, we understand that every brief is different. Our experienced team works closely with each production to find dependable supporting artists who suit the setting, style and requirements of the project.

We are proud of the long-standing relationships we have built with both productions and artists. Although the industry has changed enormously since Celex began, our approach remains the same: professional, personal and dependable.
