I have to say Johnny Lynch caught the acting bug after working for me on Scouting Book just a few months ago and I am amazed and impressed at his determination, ambition and eagerness to fill up his CV so quickly, a shining example of an ideal a supporting artiste if ever there was one and he knows I wish him all the luck in the world!

Trish@Jack Said – PRODUCER

Johnny Lynch is a charismatic actor who holds real “screen presence”. Having worked with him in several films, Johnny has captured the camera in every project.
Whether a ‘have-a-go’ hero or a menacing gangster, his professionalism and dedication to his craft is inspiring.
His dedication to diving and his talent at photography has led him naturally to film craft and his managerial talents have given rise to the “Lynch Mob” casting agency becoming an almost instant and popular success.
Vanessa King – SUPPORTING ARTIST

Hello Johnny. Thanks for the job Saturday on the Music video for Shams apparently the Madonna of India. They didn’t let me go in the big White Rolls Royce but I was picked up in the morning OK and dropped off at home. Filmed at St Pancras station & in a very short skirt! It looked like I was doing the walk of shame! Playing the lead girl that goes on a weekend away with the artists boyfriend. Good job surrounded by lots of crew! It was great and nice and easy.

I wanted to say it was a pleasure working with you on CVZ, I truly had a blast on set! I read the article you posted, and it’s fantastic that you are so dedicated to ALL of your SA’s, no matter how small their role. I certainly appreciated the personal attention you gave each one of us.

I don’t know if you’ve started preparing for SVW yet, but I would love to work with you again.
I do hope to keep in touch.
Warmest Regards,
Laura Stevens

Thanks for the super role yesterday on The Magnificent Eleven at 3 Mills Studios that’s where I trained in my acting courses in TV & film and brought back memories.
Hope you have an amazing time sat at the Xmas fair. X x x ps we have to catch up over the Xmas period over drink.
Angel Lee Anne

Johnny is a great guy and an inspiration to us all. The really good thing about him is that he is willing to share his success and take others along with him, a rare attribute in the cut throat world of acting. I hope all your hard work translates into bigger and better things.

Thank you Johnny for giving me a chance. I enjoyed every second of it. So much so that I would like to do more in the future I’ve even been looking at some part time acting courses too. It will be sad to see you go. You the cast the crew and everyone involved have been great to work with. I hope you all enjoyed your time in Scarborough It felt great to even be a small part of something which I can tell will be awesome. Hope we cross paths in the not too distant future. All the best

Hi Johnny,
Thanks for all the work you have put in lately I have enjoyed all the work you have put me forward to do. I have now been an extra in five films and three of them were thanks to you and I look forward do doing more, so I am asking if I may please join ‘THE LYNCH MOB’.
I would also like to ask if there are any runner positions available on weekends I would be very grateful if you would consider me. Thanks again.
Katherine Money – SUPPORTING ARTIST

The Lynch Mob are a great group of people who I now look on not only as colleagues but also friends. I have gained not only experience but also confidence.
Johnny you always seem calm and reassuring and whenever I have needed to speak to you either on the phone or in person you give me your full personal (although I am sure you have another 100 or so people also needing your attention) you never lose your patience. I look forward to working for the Lynch Mob in 2010
Simone Liebman Shamplina – SUPPORTING ARTIST

Its great to be a part of this super bunch of people and in my two years of extra-ing I have never come across a casting director like you who actually takes the time to get to know everyone and seems to know all your extras by first names – nothing seems to phase you and I just know your agency will be the best in London. So I am very much looking forward to 2010 when I am sure we will have plenty of projects going on with ‘The Lynch Mob’
Veronica Cutchey – SUPPORTING ARTIST

No up and coming actor i know has put in as much time and effort as this guy.

Hey Johnny I enjoyed the film role on Tuesday It was brilliant, It’s made me realise how much I love it. I’d really like to do more work on films/ music videos, seem to have gone really well so far- maybe I’ll get my big break one day hehe. But it was a great experience and got to meet some lovely people. Hopefully I’ll get to meet you in person sometime soon also.

Karly Friend – SUPPORTING ARTIST

It was our first time working with Johnny and as a seasoned actor/extra I found him to be informative, courteous and very professional.
He kept us updated all the way and made us feel part of the whole production not just the days on set.
Johnny knows what he’s doing and you can trust him to do it. He’ll look after you and promote you where he can.
A real gentleman.
Good luck with the website Johnny, we look forward to working with you again.
TD Creedy – CVZ

Sean Cernow. Extra on SCREWED

The alarm rings, it’s 3.05am & I have a cab booked for 3.45am, usually I would roll over, think it’s some kind of bad dream & go back to sleep, but then I realise I am actually going to be part of a zombie film & have to catch the 4.13am train from Stevenage station.

Never have I jumped out of bed so enthusiastically, but as quiet as possible so not to wake up ‘her indoors’ too much. After a shower & a shave, my cab arrives, I get to the station & apart from the grief from people whose nights are just ending, my day begins.

After what seems an eternity travelling, I eventually get to Wandsworth for my first days shoot & after thinking I would be the first one there, i’m not, obviously people are even more keen than me. After the extremely friendly welcome from Johnny & the crew, I get to costume to help with my get up, then on to the great make up lady to make me look as horrible as possible.

After some initial ‘Zombie Training’, I actually get picked to be an initial ‘attacking the gate’ zombie, the hours go by & the weather, although sunny, feels like its winter (but that will teach me to be a zombie in a t-shirt), but I don’t care as I am living the horror dream. The long day ends & the following day, although not as exciting (that’ll teach me to get stuck in the gate) was still great. I’m slightly bruised & battered, but it was worth it & I’ve never enjoyed hanging out with a bunch of complete strangers more than on my first experience of being an extra for Johnny on this shoot.

A week & a bit later I repeat the early morning routine, but this time to a different location at Canary Wharf. This time the situation is reversed, as not as much to do on the first day, but then have a fantastic time on the 2nd day (& the 3rd unexpected day, as although got in trouble with my girlfriend – but some things are worth more than some nagging).

Again, I met some brilliant new people, saw some of the Wandsworth Zombies to catch up & even had a chance to chat to the legend that is Alan Ford (& get shot by him, many, many times). I could probably write a short story on the various days that I was one of the Undead, but would like to thank you (Johnny) for the opportunity & all the brilliant extras that I met on these days.

This is something I would recommend to anyone, the hours sometimes may be long & in this instance, it may involve falling down & getting stuck in gates being a confused zombie, but it was one of the best experiences of my life & anyone who is interested in film should definitely give this a go.

Thanks again Johnny for the opportunity & hope you are getting some well deserved rest after organising all of us for the shoots.
Martin O’callaghan -CVZ

When James Moran (writer of Cockneys vs Zombies) tweeted that the
production company were looking for zombie extras, I hesitated for
something like a nan o-second before shooting off an email to sign up. I
had little hope that I would be among those chosen; being of more mature
years, I imagined they would pick the younger volunteers. I couldn’t
have been more wrong! I was quickly snapped up as one of a large and
varied contingent of extras and by the middle of March couldn’t wait to
release my inner zombie.

I was selected to be one of the “gate zombies”, attacking the core cast
at a disused brewery in Wandsworth. So, at 6.00am on a bright, sunny
day I was being spattered with “blood” and turned into a
flesh-devouring, shambling zombie office-worker by the brilliant team of
make-up and wardrobe people. From the beginning the whole experience
was amazing – the “walk like a zombie” lessons, the friendly, relaxed
atmosphere on set and in the Zombie Green Room, the regular topping up
of “blood” on our hands, faces and clothes, the fascination of seeing a
movie put together, the pleasure of being with a group of people with a
common purpose – and I couldn’t wait to return, this time to the Sutton
location to try to break into an old care home.

Yes, there were times when we were standing around, and did repeated
takes, and got chilly, and worked long hours. But it was worth every
single second, and now I just want to sign up for more!

Thanks to everyone on Cockneys vs Zombies for making my first extra gig
such a wonderful experience!
Carole Eniffer – CVZ

Hi Johnny Just a short note from Carol Clark (the Worthing one without an E on Clark!!!!!) to say thank you for the experience on Wednesday! To be an extra was on my ” to do” list before I die!!!!!! Others include: do the Morse Trail in Oxford, stay at the hotel where “Benidorm” is filmed (although I would give my eye teeth to be an extra in that!), see The Mousetrap (I have been promised this) go to Egypt – So far I have managed the “extra”- not in Benidorm sadly, done the Morse trail and recently stayed at the Benidorm hotel! There’s loads more but there you go!

If you ever need an old lady just sitting in the background, give me a thought!

Thanks again – it was an eye opener! And Ive even managed to get all the blood and gore out of my clothes!
Take care
Carol Clark – CVZ

The Lynch Media Group appears to be not only highly progressive in the application of international social networking sites such as this one; the group is also extremely motivated in accomplishing the greatest good for the greatest number of people, a trait that is sadly lacking in this ever increasingly self-centered world. I know without the input of the Lynch Mob the film would have failed – It is so refreshing to see a true professional involved in this industry with the ability to create and follow through on his promises – well done mate I wish you all the best for the future.
