A new UK-based acting agency has launched with a clear mission: to bridge untapped regional talent with national opportunity. East Coast Associates LTD, founded by actor Ed Clark, officially opens its books this summer – offering transparent, actor-first representation for early-career and professional performers across East Anglia and beyond.
Norfolk Roots, National Reach
With roots in Norfolk and a growing reach across the UK, East Coast Associates taps into the rich but underrepresented talent pool across East Anglia. Norwich, a city with a vibrant creative scene and emerging TV and film hub, is home to a wide community of graduates, fringe performers, and independent theatre artists – many of whom remain unrepresented.
“There’s so much talent here that doesn’t want – or simply can’t afford – to relocate to London, That’s where we come in.” Clark explains. “We know the frustration of being overlooked, and we’re building something different – supportive, actor-first, and grounded in care. By actors, for actors.”
Supported by local institutions like Norfolk Screen, The Garage, and a growing network of regional producers, the agency aims to be a launchpad for actors with ambition – whether they’re just beginning, or ready for their next big step.
Clear Vision, Honest Representation
East Coast Associates is now accepting submissions from unrepresented actors across the UK. Whether based in Norfolk or London, early-career or established, the agency invites performers seeking career growth and honest guidance to get in touch.
