Search for Child Actors in the Sahtekarlar Series
The 'Sahtekarlar' series has become one of the most eagerly followed productions on Turkish television. The project stands out with both its strong script and its young cast. When the casting process for child characters in the series began, many families wanted to include their children in this opportunity.
Child acting requires a different process than adult acting. Families must understand both the casting procedure and the set conditions beforehand. You can examine the process in detail on our Sahtekarlar series acting application page.
The child profiles sought within the scope of the project vary in terms of age range, physical characteristics, and experience level. Children without prior screen experience can also apply; the important thing is natural expressive power and being comfortable in front of the camera.
What Should Families Do During the Application Process?
Preparing current photos of your child is the first step when making a casting application. Photos should be taken in natural light, with a plain background, and be clear. Instead of photos with makeup or overly edited visuals, shots reflecting the child's real appearance should be preferred.
The actor profile form must be filled out completely. Height, weight, age, and any previously participated projects are recorded on this form. Our agency matches incoming applications with project requirements and moves suitable candidates to the second stage.
Children invited to the audition stage perform a small scene or follow a directive. It is very important not to create family pressure at this stage. A child's comfort and willingness are always more valuable than a forced performance.

Child Actors' Set Experience and Expectations
A child's role in a series means that the family is also involved in the process. Set days can be intense; therefore, the shooting schedule is planned considering the child's school program and general well-being. Within the framework of legal regulations, the daily shooting times for underage actors are limited.
The fee (cachet) is determined mutually with the project producer. Our agency provides the necessary coordination on your behalf during this process. A definite figure cannot be given at this stage, but a fee structure in line with industry standards should be expected.
Your child leaving this experience happily is much more valuable than whether they are selected or not. The set environment can offer positive contributions in terms of social skills, discipline, and self-confidence. But above all, the child needs to embrace this process and participate willingly.
What is Required to Apply for the Sahtekarlar Series?
Current photos, a correctly filled actor profile form, and the child's general adaptability are sufficient. Previous screen experience is not mandatory; naturalness and expressive power are prioritized. The application must be submitted to our agency on behalf of the parent.
Can Children Without Prior Acting Experience Apply?
Yes, inexperienced children can also apply. The project team sometimes looks for fresh faces and natural acting. The important thing is for the child to be able to express themselves in front of the camera and approach the process positively.
How Does the Audition Stage Work?
Candidates who pass the preliminary evaluation are invited to a trial shoot. At this stage, the child is given a short scene or directive. As a family, not turning the process into pressure positively affects the child's performance.
Is There an Application Fee?
No fee is charged for the casting application you submit to our agency. We recommend being careful about individuals or institutions that demand any upfront payment. The official process is conducted through our agency.
What Happens If Our Child Is Not Selected?
Every casting process is conducted according to a specific profile; therefore, not being selected does not mean failure. Your child's profile remains registered with our agency and can be considered for future projects. New opportunities for different productions can always arise.
Does the Filming Process Affect the Child's School?
The filming conditions for underage actors are regulated within legal limits. The production team creates the schedule by considering the school calendar as much as possible. Nevertheless, we recommend that you, as a family, evaluate this balance before applying.
