Urban Talent Actors has quickly built a reputation as one of the UK’s most exciting boutique agencies outside the London bubble - representing actors across TV, film, theatre, radio and advertising.

Based in the heart of Manchester, Urban is known for its inclusive approach, strong industry relationships, and commitment to developing talent from all backgrounds - with a sharp focus on individuality, long-term career strategy, and real-world results.

In this 2 HOUR, member-only mastermind with agent Alexandra Daszewski, we pull back the curtain on how Urban Talent discovers, assesses and signs actors in today’s market. We reverse-engineer 3 of Urban’s most recent signings to reveal exactly what made those actors stand out, break down what Alex is actively 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:

  • Why 2026/2027 are shaping up to be abundant years for TV actors - and how to position yourself to profit.
  • Inside the Urban Talent team - and how they proactively hustle to land their clients work.
  • The agency ethos: “No One Is You And That Is Your Power.”
