The Casting Room

The Casting Room Review

Lots of us have thought about performing in porn, but the guys on The Casting Room have taken things to the next level, answering the call for auditions. These young men meet with a porn producer for an interview and audition. The producer asks the standard questions about their experience and what they're looking for – most just want money. The second part of the process is the Physical Exam where they strip naked and the producer looks over every inch of their body – armpits, cock, foreskin, and their virgin butt holes – then the guys do an actual screen test where they jack off and cum on camera. We last reviewed the site in November 2020, so it's been nearly six years, and it looks like the site has been updating at a healthy pace, so let's head back for a look. 

As with any porn casting call, a lot of different types of guys show up. Michael is a 28-year-old British student, tall and smooth, and a little on the geeky side. Luke is a 30-year-old painter and boxer with an untrimmed beard and he's much shorter, also with a smooth body but much thicker. Georg is a 22-year-old student from Estonia, Tomas is a forklift driver from Slovakia, Alexander is a short 22-year-old from South Africa, and Filip is a handsome stud with a trimmed beard from Poland. Most of the guys are from the United Kingdom, but aside from other European countries, there are some men of color from places like Uganda, Brazil, India, Nigeria, and other countries. There are a few older guys, too, Greg is a personal trainer in his mid-fifties. The guys sport a variety of bodies, most are in shape with athletic bodies, some are a little muscular, and others have average bodies with very little definition. 

The site started filming in 2005, but the Latest Updates section only goes back to 2012, so it looks like they removed six years of videos. This kind of thing always makes wonder if the latest videos are truly new or recycled videos pulled from earlier years. The Casting Room started off as a tricked straight guy site, not in the sense of tricked into having gay sex, but these studs often replied to ads to appear in straight porn, but then found themselves on a site marketed to gay men.

As I've already mentioned, each guy's audition is divided into three separate parts: the interview, the physical exam, and the masturbation test. I watched Luke's full interview and he's the 30-year-old painter / boxer and he talked about filming a large number of home videos with various female partners, but he's never released any of them properly. He's quite open-minded and said about the only two things he hasn't done is getting pissed on or having sex with a trans girl; he emphasized that he wasn't interested in the former, but he would consider the latter. The producer asks all manner of questions about a guy's sexual experience: Have they had sex with men? Have they ever gotten a blowjob from a guy or given one? What are their turn-ons and what types of activities they're willing to do – would they get fucked with a dildo? The producer measures their bodies and the guys often have to measure their own cocks, and probably the most humiliating thing is that they must spread their butt cheeks and show off their holes – straight guys are so protective of their tight puckers.

A guy needs to be able to get hard and cum on demand, so the Erection, Masturbation, Ejaculation Test is the last part of their audition. Most of the guys jack their dicks and shoot their loads, and we never see them again. But a handful of the guys actually did come back to do a second video where they suck dick and do anal in guy-on-guy sex sessions. Most get fucked by the producer who interviewed them, but some appear with another recent auditioned guy. Many get creamy facials and some even gobble jizz.  These appear in The Fucking Room which you'll find on the members navbar. As well, some of the guys end up filming for other sites run by this company, sites like Clothed Male, Naked Male where clothed mens fondle and manhandle nude guys and Brutal Tops, a BDSM site.

It's impossible to count the videos at The Casting Room because they are arranged by model and there are 797 guys over the 14 years of videos. We previously reported the site had 1,417 videos, but as I said, six years of videos have been removed and not every guy has filmed three sessions. The interviews generally run only a few minutes, perhaps four to six minutes, then each of the two action parts come in around 10 to 15 minutes each. The newest ones are labelled on the page as 1080p (Full HD) in MP4 format, but when I downloaded them, they were actually only 720p (HD). The very oldest scenes are only available at low SD, so around 360p. We had reported two sizes were available, but I'm only seeing this one size now, and we also reported that the very oldest scenes were available in WMV format, but I wasn't seeing any this time. As far as I could see, the videos are only available in MP4 format.

The videos are available to stream in a fixed-sized player that was about 700 pixels wide on my large monitor. They're average to good quality, depending on the age, and while there is a full-screen mode, the videos often lose crispness when enlarged. While the videos played on my mobile phone, the site itself is not actually optimized for mobiles. Scene descriptions weren't actually readable unless I finger-enlarged them and navigation links aren't easily accessible without enlarging.

Each episode comes with a set of pictures, so one set for each of the three types of videos. These are surprisingly good quality screencaps (even the oldest ones from 2012 look just as good) and they're all sized at 1200x675. There are no zip files to download, but you can save the pics individually. The viewer has Next and Back controls at the top of the page, but there's no hands-free slideshow feature.

The updates are dated and if you look under The Latest Updates section, you'll see a complete schedule of each guy and when he was added to the members area. In May 2026, nine guys were added, in April and March, there were 11 guys added in each month. The schedule further reveals the site usually adds two guys each week. It's impossible to talk about the growth of the site because of reasons I've already discussed. However, what's important is that the site is still updating.

Let's talk about issues. First, there's a good-sized collection of ads on this site encouraging you to go deeper into this company's network of sites. Next, the tour states the videos have been "HD Since Jan 2005", however, the older videos are offered in standard definition only. The site claims there are 8,971 videos in the members area, and maybe this was the case before they removed six years of videos; with 797 guys currently on the site, they'd each have to have 11 videos to reconcile this total, and this just isn't the. The site is already quite expensive at nearly $40 and they add a $1.95 processing fee at check-out.

The Casting Room takes us behind the scenes in the audition and casting process. Almost all of the guys are straight and some think they're auditioning for straight porn filming, others don't care and are open to any kind of action as long as it pays. The examinations are titillating with a very detailed look at the guy from the top of his head to the tip of his toes and everywhere in between. The site is adding two guys every week and adds anywhere from nine to 12 per month. They have recycled scenes in the past and may still be doing this, I can't tell if the new scenes are actually new productions. The videos are good quality, downloadable and  mobile compatible. The porn audition isn't a new theme, but The Casting Room executes it quite well.
