"For more than 15 years now, Public Heroes has been nurturing and cultivating our family tree of over 2,500 actors, dancers, models and even quite a number of talented amateurs. Not a day goes by that we don’t thank our lucky stars – pun intended – for the diversity and trust that they extend to us.

Even though – and perhaps especially due to the fact – that we have such an extensive portfolio to offer, we are dedicated to fairly representing every single one of our talents to the best of our abilities.

Respect, trust and long-lasting relationships are the living values that characterize our work with both clients and talent."
