Entertainment Partners, the parent company of the POP platform - now known as the EP Casting Portal - that we use at 4 Star Casting, has sent an email saying that you will need to reset your password and set up two-step authentication moving forward.
Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) will be required for all users accessing the 4 Star Casting EP Casting Portal!
MFA enhances security and reduces the risk of unauthorized access by providing an extra layer of protection.
What You Need to Do:
You must reset your password and set up MFA on your mobile device before logging in to the platform. Step-by-step instructions can be found at https://www.ep.com/mfa/castingportal/
A dedicated support team is standing by to help you 24/7, should you need assistance. Hit the Contact Button and select "Crew, Talent and Background Support."
If it is easier, you can visit our website at www.4starcasting.com, then hit the "Log into the EP Casting Portal" tab. If you hover over the tab, there is an "MFA Instruction Page" to assist as well. Downloading the suggested APP PingID to your phone is the easiest method.

The director is being very specific that he wants to see photos of your current look, therefore, if you have headshots that are 3 years old, do not submit them. We would rather have a current shot against a neutral background than a headshot that does not represent your current look.
