Bridges: The Actors’ Agency came about when a group of professional actors decided to pool their skills and resources to create a co-operative, based in Edinburgh. Bridges was set up in 2008 and is the only active co-operative of its kind in Scotland.

With the help of Cooperative Development Scotland and the Business Gateway, the founders decided to explore a business model whereby they collaborate and share resources.

Bridges members work from a busy office in Out of the Blue: Drill Hall, one of Edinburgh’s key cultural hubs. As a co-operative acting agency, all members work in the office to represent and support their fellow actors when not acting.

We are able to build strong professional relationships with casting directors and give our proactive clients the opportunity to take control of their careers.

Our clients represent a broad range of age and experience from new drama school graduates to actors who have worked in the industry for many years.

From our office, based in the cultural quarter of Leith, Edinburgh, we source work all over the UK for our clients.

Since the company began we have earned a reputation for our professional, friendly and proactive service and have forged many strong relationships with a variety of casting professionals.

Our clients have worked with leading theatre companies (National Theatre of Scotland, Citizens Theatre); with television, film and radio producers (BBC, ITV, Comedy Unit), toured all over the world (Sydney Opera House, Panoptikum Festival – Nuremburg, Manama – Bahrain) and been employed in voice overs, advertising and with corporate organisations.
