Questions
Can cosplayers become models?
Yes. Cosplayers already do much of a model's job: they build a complete look, pose for photographers, stay in character for hours and handle crowds. Rockstarr Media casts cosplayers 18 and older for booth model, brand ambassador and on-camera work. Applying is free.
Do brands hire cosplayers at comic cons?
Exhibitors at comic, anime and fan conventions book booth models, character hosts and brand ambassadors to draw fans to their booth, hand out swag and run photo lines. Rockstarr Media books that talent for exhibitors nationwide.
How old do you have to be to apply?
18 or older, with a government ID. Rockstarr Media never charges anyone to apply or to be considered.
When is San Diego Comic-Con 2027?
July 22-25, 2027, at the San Diego Convention Center, with Preview Night on July 21, according to Comic-Con's official site. Open badge registration is Saturday, November 14, 2026.
