Backstage Casting Database

Founded in New York City in 1960 as a weekly trade newspaper, Backstage quickly became an indispensable resource for up-and-coming actors to navigate the entertainment industry. We’ve launched the careers of countless A-list performers, including Al Pacino, Denzel Washington, Sandra Bullock, Scarlett Johansson, and Viola Davis. In 2011, Backstage relaunched as a digital career platform and two-sided marketplace, while retaining its focus on award-winning editorial news, educational content, and interviews from industry experts.
