Founded in 1927, ‘Spotlight’ is the United Kingdom’s largest casting directory, with a database of over 70,000 actors, television presenters, dancers and stunt performers. It is the go-to resource for film, TV and theatre production companies, broadcasters and advertising agencies.
From the earliest days, the ‘Spotlight’ directory was issued in book form but in more recent years has transferred online at: www.spotlight.com
