Monique Rencricca

Monique Rencricca is the Owner, and CEO of 8-12 Casting, LLC. After years of dreaming about opening up her own Casting Company she finally did so in 2007. Monique has been working in the Entertainment Industry since 2000. She started her acting career performing in Community Theatre Productions, doing "Extra" work in New York City for many different television programs, then moving on to a principle role in a nationally televised commercial, which she notes as being her "Big Break!" She still pursues acting.

She is a former Casting Assistant, so she knows the in's and out's of the casting world, along with what it is like to be an "Extra/Background performer." "Background work is a great way to get your foot in the door, it can be alot of fun, to be on a set and to see how a production all comes together. It's priceless." She knows what it is like to get up at  3:30 a.m. to be in the city for a 6:30 a.m. call time! "It's called, paying your dues!" To gain the experience of working on a set, and hone your acting skills, Monique encourages everyone who is interested in pursuing an acting career to start off as a Background performer. Dream,  Focus, Create!
