2020 Casting
2020 Casting is a casting agency based in London, England which supplies extras for film shoots. It is located in Hopgood St, Shepherd's Bush, in West London.
The agency was founded by actor Christopher Villiers and personal trainer Richard Smedley who met on the set of the film First Knight in around 1995. 2020 was "the first agency to take digital photographs of its artistes", and "the first to use text messaging systems to contact our artistes".
Villiers is known for his part in the top rated ITV soap opera, Emmerdale in which he played the role of the solicitor Grayson Sinclair.
2020 claims to have 2,600 artistes registered on their books, with a backup database of well over 30,000. They have supplied extras for more than 200 films, including Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Shaun of the Dead and Bridget Jones's Diary.
