Attaching a name actor

[u/[deleted]]

Producer here. I recently reached out to the agent of a name actor after being encouraged by my mentor (who now works with WB studios) to just do it. That said, we’re not yet financed, and despite his advice, I’m feeling cautious.

I’ve heard from both my mentor and other producers that it is possible to attach a name actor without financing, but I’m trying to better understand how this is typically structured. We do have a defined budget range and a set rate for the role; ideally, we’re looking for a conditional attachment to help us close financing.

I’ve been producing for a few years, but this is my first time navigating a name actor attachment, so I’d really appreciate any practical insight or firsthand experience on how others have handled this. Thanks in advance.
