Mad Dog 2020 Avis 46

Don't bother with this casting agency especially the one based in London.Went in they took all my details the lady said wow looking at the computer screen I said is there anything wrong with my profile completely started ignoring me I said again is there anything wrong with my profile got ignored again.If your looking to be bullied for no reason join this agency.

Unsurprisingly they've gone into liquidation after withholding money from background artists. Shameful company. I've been waiting 3 years for a payment.

I did a job for them in October 2023, and it took numerous emails, a letter from my mp to the business minister, and taking out a CCJ to get my pay.

Useless agency that are still trading despite being insolvent.

I have completed 2 jobs with Mad Dog 2020 and have not received payments for either. Their FAQs state artists should allow 6-8 weeks for payment, it has been 12 weeks since the last job I did and still no payment. Lots of jobs come through from Mad Dog but you are never going to get paid, all of these companies are huge scams.

Do not use this agency. Not paying clients. Ignoring emails or sending same spiel that I’d get paid end of month. Blaming production for not paying. Ghosting clients. Deleting profiles. Absolutely disgusting. They owe SAs thousands!

been three years 40 emails after still no payment. Horrible company. I dont understand why they refuse to pay us.

Awful awful company. Had to chase payment up after 4 months of not being paid, then I was only given half of what I was owed. When I questioned this they added more cuts for themselves so wouldn’t give me the full amount of what I was originally owed. They also deleted my account so I can’t prove the original pending payment, when also questioned they claim to haven’t deleted it.

Actors please avoid this company.

Had I known all the issues surrounding this 'company' I would never have agreed to SA work. Quite frankly the people involved in this business should be ashamed - morally and ethically. Like many others, the amount I'm owed is negligible, However, it has become a matter of principle!

On behalf of all those who are owed a lot of money, I truly hope you get a satisfactory outcome! For anyone considering work via Madddog - AVOID

Please, please, please avoid this agency at all costs. I am owed close to £1000 for a job I did back in October 2023 and I am using our legal system to obtain what is owed. Those that continue to take work from MD2020, and the production companies that continue to use them, are complicit in their unscrupulous practices. What if it was your family being deprived of hard earn income?

I would give them zero stars if I could. They owe me hundreds of pounds in pay from May 2023. I'm one of hundreds they have conned and lied to. They have been ordered to pay up, but haven't. Disgusting.

AVOID AVOID AVOID WILL BE TAKING THEM TO COURT. PLEASE CAN I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO COMMENT ON THERE SOCIAL MEDIA TO GET THIS AWFUL COMPANY TAKEN DOWN

The one star is to be able to leave a review. I am joining all the bad reviews already on that case. They do not pay for your work, they ignore your emails, they have cut their phone line, they hardly reply to their app-chat.
It started a few months ago with me and I am still waiting to be paid.
THIEVES, CONS TO AVOID!

Disgusted with this company. My daughter worked for them over a year ago and she has not been paid. THEY ARE RIPPING PEOPLE OFF. Stay well clear

Mad Dog used to get me amazing work years ago. Last December they were asked by a production company if they could use my image for a still I did four years ago again and I agreed.
They took the money and never even told me I was used again. Nearly 12 months on and I still haven’t been paid. It’s over £1K they still owe me and have stolen. It’s with the High Court now and I hope I’ll get my money including what it’s cost me to take them to court.
I heard they are still not paying their clients this year either do I couldn’t take any jobs from them if I were you.

Horrible experience with this company, have been paid for a job I did on July 20th 2023, I’ve emailed them only to get a generic “looking into it” email copy pasted to me so many times, never use maddog unless you like never being paid for your work

They won't pay you and will fob you off leaving you chase them for months on end. Not worth the drama if you're relying on steady income. Absolutely awful.

I am owed over a grand from them even after a CCJ and bailiffs.

Do not work for this agency!!
I have been waiting to get payed for a role i filmed on 04/06/24.
I was payed in the 17/10/24 nearly 5 months after completing filming which i was heavily involved in to the point i was the only actor being filmed.
I emailed their accounts team 3 times asking to be paid, i was continually fobbed off with run of the mill replies.
On the 17/10/24 Maddog2020 paid me £23.02 for that days acting.
This has clearly been done due to my complaining.
This is an absolute amateur organisation who don't give a dam about its employee's, that much has been proven.
To any Maddog executive who might read this, you are a disgrace and i don't know how you get away with it.
You will not get away with this with me, i am going to report this to the relevant authorities.
Absolutely disgusting!!
Do not work for these amateurs.

This company takes your money from production and keeps it.
DO NOT TAKE WORK FROM THEM.
I am owed almost £1,000 from SA work on The Red King in 2023
Their promises to pay amount to lies. You have been warned.

Artists are not being paid!!!! I’m waiting on a payment and they are not returning emails or calls. AVOID and report!
