Paul Byram Associates was established in 2009 and has since become one of the UK’s most respected acting agencies, representing actors across TV, film & theatre.
Known for discovering and developing new talent, PBA has earned its reputation through ethical representation, smart long-term career strategy, and an unwavering belief that talent - in all its forms - is the single most important asset.
In this 2 HOUR, member-only mastermind with senior agent Matt Butcher and his client Alexander King, we pull back the curtain on how PBA actually discovers, assesses and signs actors in today’s market. We reverse-engineer 3 of the agency’s most recent signings to reveal what made them stand out, break down what agents are really looking for right now - and members of Act On This jump on camera for some 1-2-1 coaching too!
During the broadcast, we discuss:
- The current casting landscape - and why 2026/ 2027 are shaping up to be busy years for working actors.
- Inside the PBA team - who does what, and how the agency actually functions day-to-day.
- Why talent always comes first at PBA - above credits, followers, or hype.
- The range, diversity, and individuality of actors PBA proudly represents.
- How Alex and Matt first connected - and what ultimately led Alex to sign with the agency.
- The key questions Matt asks when actors sit down for a meeting with him.
- Two recent signings - and exactly why Matt chose to bring them onto the books.
- Why age is never a barrier - and how actors at any stage can still move forward.
- How to leverage relationships properly to earn genuine agency recommendations.
- The right way to approach PBA for representation (and what to avoid).
- The gaps in Matt’s client list right now - and who he’s actively open to meeting.
- Why PBA’s books are never truly closed to the right actor.
- How to approach Matt if you’re considering changing agents - without burning bridges.
- What to do if you’re signed but not currently landing auditions.
- Social media following - does it really matter, and when (if ever) it helps.
