BOSS Extras in Close to the Enemy

We are completely gripped by this BBC drama and love spotting our BOSS extras in the programme. Last week's episode began with a long panning shot, showing lots of our artists in their amazing period costumes. See our website for booking information.

Vegas awaits with Betfred and BOSS model Euclides

We like the look of Betfred airways in the new ad from the British bookmaker, which has its HQ in Warrington. BOSS model Euclides appears in the advertisement, in a retro sweater vest, scrolling through the online fruit machines. Book us in for a flight to Vegas! 

BOSS extras check-in for Coronation Street

Team BOSS are regulars at one of our favourite soaps, Coronation Street, and we get excited every time we see them on the iconic programme.

Just before this cliffhanger, spot our Management Board Actress Charley Lynn at the airport, as well as a few other members of the BOSS family. 

Dany for Primula Cheese

We can always find time for a treat, so we love Primula's 'Little Moments of Big Flavour' campaign featuring BOSS extra Dany Rogers.

We're moving...

…and we wouldn’t want you to miss us! While we couldn't bring ourselves to leave our Northern Quarter home, we’re heading to a new office, closer to even more burger joints and badly lit bars. 

Pop round for a brew at our brand new building from Monday 21st November 2016 - 33 Turner Street, Manchester, M4 1DW – we’ll put the kettle on!

You can still catch us on our regular email addresses and phone number.

Five Iconic Extras

At BOSS Casting HQ, we always have our eye on the background, checking on what the extras in every scene get up to. Famous and infamous, here are out top five most iconic extras.

1. Donald Trump,  Home Alone 2: Escape to New York

He doesn't help a lost minor alone in New York...we should have known.

2. Jessie Heiman, 'The Background Nerd'

Photos: Cracked 

He's the go-to guy for the geeky look. Have you spotted him anywhere else? 

3. Robin Williams, Friends 

We'll always remember his totally OTT and fantastic cameo in this episode. 

4. Eddie, Frasier

AKA Moose, earned a total of $10,000 dollars per episode!

5. Clumsy Storm Trooper, Star Wars

Maybe the most well-known extra of all time. Ouch!
