Actors Ink, South Australia's leading Actors Agency, established in 1994 has become the most recognised Actors Agency in S.A.

The directors of the company Richard Laidlaw, Rosslyn Laidlaw and Tony Carpenter all have extensive backgrounds in the entertainment industry and are devoted to developing talented students for work in a very exciting industry.

Staring out his early life as a performer touring internationally Richard returned to Adelaide and saw an opportunity to start a Production Company “Essential Talent” to produce & tour theatrical productions in Australia and internationally. It wasn’t long before the company had established it’s self as a leader in Asia supplying most of the show rooms and amusement parks with entertainment. Essential Talent then developed the Australian arm to produce and represent variety artists and shows to the domestic market.

Next came the development of the entertainment school which has blossomed to become a leading school for entertainment arts.
