I went to Big Fish in need of actors on short notice. Elisa Piesman was able to find talented actors on short notice, who were reliable, professional, showed up on time, fit the character description, and most importantly, know what they're doing. Elisa was awesome and courteous given my stressful crunch time. I'll for sure, be using Big Fish in the future.

Very respectable agency! Very professional and courteous. They are trustworthy and professional and provide a great deal of opportunities to each of their talents. Emily and Alyssa are very friendly and are always sending audition opportunities at least a week in advance.

Big Fish is a fantastic acting/modeling agency! Emily and Elisa have been wonderful to work with (as well as get to know); professional and friendly all rolled into one. They have contracts in the Denver area for extras, where even if it takes a while to land a leading part of your own, you can get your feet wet and make great money doing what you love! I have met many lovely people on these shoots who are just plain enjoyable to be around, which speaks very highly of the quality of talent that Big Fish draws. Audition and sign with Big Fish! You won't regret it! :)

Big Fish Talent is the fourth agency Ive worked with over the past 20 years, out of New York and now Denver, and they are above and beyond the most communicative and supportive. Emily and Elisa are in constant communication, both in terms of upcoming audition opportunities but also in terms of the expectations and details every time they submit their actors. I feel so lucky and so grateful to be represented by them!

I've been represented by Big Fish Talent now for 12years. They continue to be my agent for many reasons, but maybe the greatest reason is the continued support and 'belief in me' that I get from them--over and over. Anyone can "work" for someone, but it takes a special, honest, and sincere relationship to "believe" in someone, as they work. I have seen Big Fish time and time again have my back as I work on film, commercial and print projects. They also have supported me at times in my personal life journey, not just professional only. I count them not just as my agent, but as my friends too! I
