Dominique Moore is turning her long-running mentorship work into a bold new venture for the screen industry. The British actor has launched DMA Talent, a development-focused agency designed to support children and young performers with a strong emphasis on wellbeing, safeguarding, training, and aftercare.
Best known to many TV audiences for Horrible Histories, Moore is positioning DMA Talent as more than a traditional representation business. Instead, the agency aims to guide young actors and their families from early training and auditions through filming and the transition that follows when a project ends. In an entertainment landscape increasingly focused on duty of care, DMA Talent arrives with a clear mission: help young performers build sustainable careers while protecting their development as people.
What Is DMA Talent?
DMA Talent is a new agency for children and young performers, launching with around 10 clients. Among them is Waffle’s After School Club actor Sienna Grey Moore. The agency also includes agent Geri Spicer and a wider support structure built around safeguarding and pastoral care.
Unlike many conventional talent agencies, DMA Talent is structured to provide support at every major stage of a young actor’s journey, including:
- Training and early creative development
- Auditions and callbacks
- On-set support during filming
- In-house chaperone assistance
- Specialist aftercare once productions wrap
- Guidance for parents, carers, and agents
That full-circle approach reflects growing conversations across TV and film about how best to protect child performers while still helping them thrive professionally.
Why Dominique Moore’s DMA Talent Stands Out
The launch of DMA Talent is significant because it builds on work Moore has already been doing for years. She has spent roughly a decade mentoring young people through DMA London and the not-for-profit DMA Foundation, creating a foundation of support before formally entering the agency space.
Her previous mentoring work has reportedly included rising talents connected to major productions such as House of the Dragon, My Name Is Leon, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, and Wednesday. That background gives the new agency credibility, particularly at a time when parents and producers alike are looking for more responsible representation models for child actors.
Moore has framed the company as a chance to raise standards across the industry. Her public comments suggest that DMA Talent is rooted in access, community, and long-term artist development rather than simply booking roles.
A wellbeing-first model for young performers
What makes this agency especially notable is its pastoral philosophy. Child acting can involve irregular schedules, emotional pressure, public visibility, and abrupt changes between work and everyday life. For many families, navigating that system can be overwhelming.
DMA Talent appears designed to answer those concerns by focusing on:
- Wellbeing: helping young talent manage the emotional demands of performance work
- Safeguarding: creating safer systems and oversight for children in the industry
- Continuity of care: offering support before, during, and after productions
- Family guidance: ensuring parents and carers are part of the process
That model may resonate strongly with broadcasters, streamers, and production companies seeking agencies that understand both compliance and care.
Dominique Moore’s TV Career and Industry Perspective
Moore’s industry profile gives extra weight to the launch of DMA Talent. She is widely known for appearing in the hit CBBC comedy series Horrible Histories, where she portrayed historical figures including Rosa Parks and Mary Seacole. Her credits also include Tracey Ullman’s Show for BBC and HBO, along with BBC Three’s Barely Legal.
That acting background matters. Performers who move into talent development often bring a firsthand understanding of auditions, production culture, rejection, career uncertainty, and the pressures of visibility. For young actors, that lived experience can make guidance more practical and more empathetic.
DMA London, one of the organizations tied to Moore’s broader mission, is also launching with support from high-profile names including Industry actor David Jonsson. That backing suggests confidence in her wider vision for nurturing the next generation of screen talent.
What DMA Talent Could Mean for the TV Industry
The arrival of DMA Talent speaks to a wider shift in TV and film representation. For years, the industry has debated how to better support child actors not just legally, but emotionally and educationally. As conversations around mental health and safeguarding become more central, agencies that offer holistic care could become increasingly influential.
Potential ripple effects of this model include:
- Higher expectations for agencies representing minors
- More robust family support systems throughout production cycles
- Improved post-project care for young performers adjusting back to normal life
- Stronger collaboration between agents, chaperones, and wellbeing specialists
For the TV and video sector, that could help redefine what successful representation looks like. Booking jobs will always matter, but development, safeguarding, and long-term care may now be part of the benchmark as well.

Conclusion
With DMA Talent, Dominique Moore is launching an agency that reflects where the entertainment business is heading: toward a more responsible, human-centered approach to developing young performers. By combining representation with wellbeing support, safeguarding expertise, chaperone services, and aftercare, DMA Talent has the potential to set a meaningful new standard for child actor representation in TV and film.
If the model succeeds, DMA Talent may become one of the clearest examples yet that nurturing talent and protecting young people should go hand in hand.
