McCorkle Casting Ltd

Midtown’s theater district has long been a magnet for performers and producers alike. Casting agencies form the quiet backbone of that world, matching talent with roles in film, television, and live stage. One such agency operates from an unassuming office just steps from the neon marquees of Broadway.

McCorkle Casting Ltd specializes in principal and background casting for projects that range from indie shorts to major studio features. They handle everything from character breakdowns to final callbacks, often working with directors who need a specific look or skill set. The office is at 575 8th Ave, New York, NY 10018, a building that shares a block with rehearsal studios and costume shops, making it a practical stop for actors between auditions. While the agency itself keeps a low profile, its client list speaks to a steady flow of work in both union and non-union productions.

Actors looking to submit headshots or schedule an appointment can reach them at (212) 244-3899. The phone line is typically answered during business hours, though callbacks may take a day or two depending on the volume of submissions. For directions to the office, a map is available online. Midtown’s density means street noise is constant, but the trade-off is proximity to the very stages where many of these auditions eventually lead.
