Actor & Actress Casting
We propose Liliana actors and actresses for roles in film, drama, streaming productions and commercials. From lead cast to extras, our roster includes Japanese, mixed-heritage and international actors. We narrow candidates by the role’s age, feel and required languages, and can book several actors at once.
Consultations and quotes are free. Office hours: weekdays 10:00–19:00 JST

How Liliana casts actors
Before proposing candidates, we check the languages and acting experience the role needs, and whether they can commit to the shooting days.
Search by role
Filter by age, nationality, language and feel. If you share the script or proposal, we will put forward candidates role by role.
Extras and large groups
Extras for crowd scenes can be booked together with the main cast. Let us know the numbers, the mix of nationalities and the call time.
Visa status already checked
We check international actors’ visa status and work eligibility at registration. The production doesn’t need to check again.
Interpreters
If talent can’t work in Japanese, we provide an interpreter, so the director’s instructions can be given on the spot.
About actor fees
Actor fees depend on the size of the role, the number of shooting days and how the finished work is used.
Size of role and screen time
Lead, supporting role or extra. Whether there are lines and the number of scenes are also factored in.
Shooting days
A standard day is 8 hours including breaks. Multi-day shoots are quoted per day.
Media
Where the work is released: theaters, TV broadcast, streaming, web, social media and so on. The more outlets, the higher the fee.
Usage period
It also depends on how long the work is released or streamed. We do not accept buyouts without a set period.
Category exclusivity
For commercials, a surcharge applies if the actor must not appear in competitors’ ads during the contract.
Career
Fees also depend on credits and profile. Extras and experienced actors are priced differently.
We don’t publish a rate card. Tell us the size of the role, shooting days and release outlets, and we will give you a rough quote with a breakdown. For payment and cancellation terms, see our FAQ.
From request to shoot day
Contact us
Tell us the project outline, shooting schedule, release outlets and budget. It’s fine if the script isn’t ready yet.
Candidate proposals
For each role, we send candidates’ profiles, credits and a rough quote.
Hold and confirmation
We put a provisional hold on the shoot dates and choose the cast by profile review or audition. Terms, release outlets, period and territory are agreed at this stage.
For details on each step, see How It Works; for the talent’s terms, see our Performance Guidelines.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I share the script when consulting?
- Yes. With the script, it’s easier to narrow down candidates for each role. NDAs can be signed on your template or ours, so let us know before you share it.
- Can I book extras only?
- Yes, we also take bookings for extras only. Let us know the numbers, the mix of nationalities, and the meeting place and time.
- Can you cast roles with lines in foreign languages?
- Yes. Our roster includes members who speak English and other languages. Let us know the language needed and whether native level is required.
- Can you hold auditions?
- Yes. We can decide by profile review alone or hold in-person auditions, scheduled to suit the size of the project.
- Can I book minors?
- Yes. Minors appear with parental consent and a guardian present, and we schedule them within the Labor Standards Act. Shooting hours are agreed for each project.
- Can I book actors for regional shoots?
- Yes. We also send actors to regional shoots. Any travel or accommodation costs are included in the quote in advance.
