About Me


"Motivation is what gets you started, habit is what keeps you going" - UnknownHow "Cut Above" Casting got started:
After having worked with other industry call-in services, Lisa Marquis decided to branch off on her own to design a higher caliber of service:
"Cut Above" Casting Service.
So many new, fresh faces arrive here in Los Angeles, eager for work in the entertainment industry, many without direction, and without any understanding of what it means to be a professional actor.
Cut Above Casting, a unique call-in service, offers on-set assignments to those who know the ropes of extra work, and provides the tools necessary to instill a sense of professionalism and dignity in those who are new to the field.
Cut Above Casting coordinators supply some of the biggest casting directors in L.A. with responsible, reliable, bookable extras, having taken the extra step to ensure the quality of the individual being submitted for the work. We stay very busy managing our extras. We are accessable around the clock and provide last minute replacements for those production situations that come up short.
We assist with feature film, television, commercial, print and audience work, and are very aggressive about getting our clients booked.
It has been our mission to create a service that provides casting directors with the "best of the best" in background work, which in turn creates opportunities and advancements for all of our hard working clientele.
Enjoy our slide show and feel free to contact us if you are interested in becoming a part of our ever growing company-
We are always looking for fresh new faces!
Here are a few of CAC's biggest STARS!!
