" Hi, I just want to recommend Arizona Actors to everyone! Whether you are just starting out, been in it for a bit or even your whole life as a seasoned actor. The Group absolutely has something for everyone. And importantly, mostly paid, and paid very fairly! What I also love and appreciate about the Arizona Actors Group is the absolute organization of everything. Everything you need to know is in the posts. As actors, we need to become this organized. This is a great learning format with the tools of the trade on all sides. The Teamis open to questions and so willing to assist anyone on set! No matter how seasoned of a Talent of any position within the Entertainment industry you are, you can learn from being simply being a background actor, if you are organized and work on yourself. Even if you are not an actor, as crew, you can learn from all sides, It is a positive thing to be able to be intuitive to what might be happening if something is not working on your set. Various experince allows everyone to be a Team. Everytime I have been honored to be able to work on anything in connection with Rob Rutledge and/or Arizona Actors, it has been a memorable and highly entertaining, learning experience. I have benefited in so many ways from each and every instance. I have also met many, many interesting people who I learn from and genuinely like! I am very much looking forward to more entertaining, learning and memory worthy experiences connected to Arizona Actors. I am not sure I should add photos, especially from the last shoot, but eventually I will come back and update this post. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I cannot put into words how much you are appreciated! "

" First of all, there are no words to express my gratitude for finding Rob Rutledge and Arizona Actors. It is as if all the stars aligned themselves. Rob is the most nurturing, welcoming person you would ever want to meet. He makes you and everyone around you feel cared for and included. He even entertains the cast while on set with fascinating anecdotes so the time in between filming flies by! He always makes sure to greet you hello and goodbye and welcomes all new comers with friendly chat. He remembers everyone and gets to know them, too. On set, he also makes sure to get to know the crew as well. Rob is a very hard worker who rarely takes a break. He is always there to lend a helping and advisory hand to those around him. Of course, he is surrounded by a wonderful group of staffers, as well. Then there is the wonderful selection of varied work he finds for his actors and crew. Customers want to work with him again and again because he is so great to work with. Rob motivates you to want to do a really great job for him. He also makes sure things get done the right way and he makes everyone feel important to the production. He is even welcoming to other filmmakers while on set by having them speak about their projects so he can help them out and even shares staff with them! You literally cannot wait to get to the set because you know you are in for a great experience. Rob is a true trailblazer by the way he runs his business so differently. He has a vast array of resources to fulfill so many varied requests. He is also amazingly supportive of business competitors by helping each other out which is mutually beneficial. Signing up with Arizona Actors is the best experience in no uncertain terms. It is also nationwide so you can even get work outside the Phoenix area. He is always trying to help you get a leg up in the business and there is no one better at it than Arizona Actors and Rob Rutledge. "
