Look Alike Careers: Recruitment Agency Opportunities
from: John GrothRecruitment Agencies: Look Alike Opportunities
Has anyone ever told you that you look like a celebrity or a politician, living or dead? If you look like Abraham Lincoln, Elvis Presley or some current star there are recruitment agencies looking for you.
There are recruitment agencies that go out of their way to look like someone else. Being misleading is what these agencies do. These agencies are very specialized and provide a service like a talent agency.
Recruitment look alike agencies are a specialized recruitment agency service. These places employ celebrity look-alikes and provide the services of a booking agent for the look-alikes. Surprisingly, celebrity look-alikes are more popular than the average person might guess: major companies have used celebrity look-alikes to draw attention to their stores or products, and the look-alikes are even used as stunt doubles for movies. It seems the uses for a celebrity look alikes is constantly growing.
Recruitment Agencies fill the same purpose for celebrity look alikes that a talent agency or a talent representative serves for an actual celebrity. Essentially, celebrity look alikes are actors and actresses; they need to book "shows" just like any other actor, so they relay on an agent. Recruitment look alike agencies simply find companies that need a celebrity look alike for any number of reasons, and then the agency matches the desired celebrity look alike to the event.
Some of the larger recruitment look alike agencies have more than one look alike for each popular celebrity. For example, there is usually more than one Angelina Jolie or Johnny Depp celebrity look alike at an agency. For less popular celebrities like Mel Gibson or Nicole Kidman, there is usually only one look alike. Some of the more famous, classic cinema and music stars also have more than one look alike at an agency: Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Elvis Presley, Princess Diana, Marlene Dietrich, and Cher all usually have multiple look alikes.
Where do these agencies find companies that want to employ celebrity look alikes? Companies will usually approach reputable look alike agencies with an event and celebrity already in mind. Other companies may only have an even that needs some kind of spice, and they leave the choice of celebrity look alike up to the recruitment look alike agencies. The events that most companies will employ a look alike for vary greatly: cocktail parties, holiday parties, store openings, fundraisers and even conferences all regularly have celebrity look alikes in attendance.
In addition to booking celebrity look alikes to company events, recruitment look alike agencies also will employ look alikes with movie and TV companies. Some movie or TV companies choose to hire a celebrity look alike as a stunt or nudity double. If the actual actor or actress is unable or unwilling to shoot an especially difficult or gratuitous scene, a celebrity look alike may be called in to be the back of the celebrity's head or even his or her back side.
So if you have been told you look like someone else, here’s a possible path for some extra money or even a career. All you have to do is look like someone else.
