FrontRunner Casting Reviews

Great Company, Great Experiences.
Our family of 9 has been working with Frontrunner since 2009 on all kinds of jobs throughout Central Florida. It has been an AMAZING experience for our family! Not only have we learned so much about the industry, but we have gotten experiences we never would have otherwise. We have never worked a job we didn't enjoy and they have always taken excellent care of us throughout the booking process & on set.The downside is the payment process, which is often misunderstood. Frontrunner is a local company. They are hired by a company (sometimes with extras in the hundreds of people) and they can't front that money to the background actors. They have to bill the client, and then wait for the client to pay, and then they pay the background actors. Sometimes this process takes as long as 4-6 months. Things get tied up and delayed in production, but since WorkMarket was implemented, they've been able to work through the system faster and we have been paid much more timely.

UPSET!! TERRIBLE AT GETTING PAID
On September 1st my son and a friend did a 4 day job for this company and then again September 31st and still no paycheck. They tell you 60 to 90 days to get paid. We have sent several emails and voice messages to Chris Moreno and spoke to Noelle saying I will take care of it today. NOTHING!! It looks like this is a pattern this company follows. HELP!

Be Weary
I did a two-day shoot with this company for Disney. In the booking confirmation email it clearly states that you can choose what they call Wrap Pay to receive your payment the next day via PayPal. I chose this option. It has been a week and I have yet to get paid. I have sent two emails, to the payment team and the submissions team, with no response from either. Upon doing some research it seems this is their usual course of business with regard to payments. Their initial email does state 60-90 days is standard for check payments, but the Wrap Pay option clearly states the next business day. My issue is, don't advertise that if it isn't the case. I will return to update this posting once I am paid. Until then, I'd remain weary of using this company.

Don't sign up
My son did a Disney job September 6th 2019. And it is now 4 months later and we did not get paid. I am very very upset. They are so quick to have you sacrifice your time for a shoot and then ignore you when you question where is the payment. Really??? Well I pray that God has mercy over this company. They will not have business anymore. There will be justice.

Original review Oct 01, 2019
My son did a job on June 4th. And its been almost 4 months later and he has not received his payment. I do not understand why this is happening. I thought this was an honest company. We want our payment. We sacrificed our time to now be ignored.

Late late late payment and horrible communication
They are quick to send you emails for work but late with replying to emails and payments. I did a job in January at 5am for Disney and I still haven’t been paid. I emailed them about a month ago got one reply about payment being on it’s way and still nothing. Emailed again and no reply whatsoever! Ridiculous!! I could’ve spent the day with my family if I knew I wasn’t going to get paid for being there

Scammers
I heard about them from a friend and thought it would be fun so I signed up. Got called to a shoot and had a good time. It took about 60 days to get paid and when I did finally get paid, the check bounced. Called and emailed repeatedly and couldn't get anyone to answer. I wasn't sure this was a real company. Finally spoke to someone who told me the payroll company messed up the checks and that's why they were stopped. They supposedly sent out emails not to cash the checks. I never got such an email from them even though I got various emails about casting calls. Finally got a replacement check with no reimbursement for the bounced check fee. I hounded them non stop until they finally reimbursed me for the bounced check fee. I have never gotten another casting call. I guess they don't like people who stand up for themselves. They are so disreputable that it makes me VERY nervous that they have my name and social security number. I have been checking my credit report monthly ever since.

NONPAYMENT from Frontrunner casting!
On June 15, I did a Shop Disney Shoot at Animal Kingdom. That was OVER 3 MONTHS AGO!!! I have still not been paid by Frontrunner Casting! I Have: 1. Contacted the other people involved in the shoot. They have not been paid, either 2. Called Frontrunner - 15 times! I have left messages, talked to people who have apologized, talked to the alleged "Owner, " etc., etc., 3. Emailed the payment department many, many times. Now, after 3 months of hassle and lies, I have no choice but to contact the Better Business Bureau AND an attorney. FRONTRUNNER! You owe me and the others $500!!! How difficult is this? PAY US!!!

Disney Institute Job on 6/19/2017
I was hired to do a Disney Institute shoot for Frontrunner Casting. I took a day off from my regular day job and went from Fort Lauderdale to Orlando FL. I arrived on time and did the job. I had previously done work for Frontrunner, so when I hadn't received a check after two weeks, I wrote them. I was told it may be 6 to 8 weeks before I get paid. Highly unusual, highly inconvenient considering that sometimes your employee base is the average starving actor. I wrote again on 7/31 no response. Now 55 days after the assignment no pay, no communication. I don't receive a check by 8/18 and then agencies and Disney Institute will start being contacted. As an actor in the South Florida area, I am going to drag this agencies name through the mud whatever chance I get at networking events.One local news station has a Help me segment. I may call them. Easy way for them to avoid this is to pay me.

No payment for extra work after 180 days or reply!
Frontrunner has horrible practices when it comes to getting back to people. I have contacted them numerous times only to get the run around maybe once out of five contact attempts. They have their main number running to a cell phone that gets passed around so they can avoid calls and text. Ive emailed payments@***.com and get no reply just like calling the phone. Very dodgy you have been warned I have a friend who has been waiting over 300 days for 4 days of extra work.
