Actors Websites: 4 of the Best for Design Inspiration

Actors Websites

Actors websites are an opportunity to showcase of your brand, skills, and unique personality. A well-crafted website can open doors, connect you with casting directors, and even help land your next job. Of course, your acting portfolio and experience should be the heart of your site; clear, engaging, and tailored to highlight what makes you stand out as a performer. However, having a dedicated actor website also helps you develop yourself as an overall brand. 

To inspire your actor website, the KIJO team (specialists in website design in Birmingham) has curated a list of 4 of the best actor websites. Whether you’re looking to build your first website or revamp an existing one, these examples blend inspiration with practicality.

What Should Be on Actors Websites?

Spotlight is the actors website for CVs - it reads 'Welcome to the home of casting - connecting talented performers with exciting roles since 1927'
The website image (which expands the whole page) is of a brown-haired actress recording a voice over on a microphone. All UK actors websites should link to their Spotlight CV.

The best actors websites do more than just look good — they create immersive experiences that engage visitors and support your career goals. Here’s what every actor’s website should include:

  • Professional Visuals — High-quality, professional headshots, production stills, and video reels that showcase your range.
  • Intuitive Navigation — Clear menus and well-organised sections that make it easy to find your CV (in the UK, this is often a Spotlight CV), credits, reels, and contact info.
  • Strong Bio — A compelling personal story and summary that highlight your experience and strengths.
  • Well-Organised Acting Portfolio — Dedicated sections for headshots, showreels, stage and screen credits, and professional, reputable reviews.
  • Mobile-Responsive Design — A seamless experience across all devices, ensuring casting directors, producers, directors, and fans can view your work anywhere.
  • Clear Contact Information — Easy-to-find agent contact details or a professional contact form to help connect you with casting opportunities.
  • Personal Brand — Consistent colours, typography, and style that align with your personality and career goals.

By including these key elements, your website becomes a hub that showcases your talent and helps you build connections within the industry.

KIJO’s Selection of the 4 Best Actors Websites Examples

We asked our in-house Senior UX/UI Design Expert, Danny Findon-Kent, to analyse and comment on four actor websites that exemplify excellence in personal branding and portfolio presentation.

1. Hiro Kanagawa

Hiro Kanagawa's actors website. It reads: "
ACTOR
Hiro Kanagawa is a well-known and well-regarded character actor with a diverse and extensive resume.  Also an accomplished playwright and screenwriter, he is the recipient of the 2017 Governor General’s Literary for Drama for his play Indian Arm. 

 

Hiro’s distinct talents were cultivated over a lifetime of wide-ranging experiences in a variety of locales.  Born in Sapporo, Japan, he grew up in Guelph, Ontario and Sterling Heights, Michigan before returning to Japan for high school.  Showing an early talent in a variety of arts, he went on to study at a series of prestigious East Coast schools:  Middlebury College, the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, and the Tyler School of Art at Temple University.  He trained in classical guitar, sculpture, performance art, and theatre along the way, honing his skills as both a creator and performer."

This is a straightforward and elegant portfolio that highlights Hiro Kanagawa’s work as an actor, writer, and voice talent.

The site’s simplicity is its strength: a clean layout with professional headshots, a concise bio, and easy navigation. It’s easy to find Hiro’s credits, reels, and contact info. This is a perfect example of how a well-organised acting portfolio can build trust and exude professionalism.
