The Arnold Clark TV adverts have featured a rotating cast of actors recruited through Scottish talent agencies, most visibly Cameron McKendrick and Bruna Borges, both represented by Mint Casting. The Mandy Network, a UK casting platform, lists eight individuals linked to Arnold Clark productions. Most of the adverts have been filmed in Scotland, reflecting the brand's Glasgow roots.
The most publicly confirmed names come from agency announcements rather than Arnold Clark itself. Mint Casting, a Scottish talent agency, posted on Facebook congratulating two of their clients on appearing in Arnold Clark TV campaigns.
Cameron McKendrick is one of them. Mint Casting's post read: "A huge well done to our Cameron McKendrick who features in the latest Arnold Clark TV adverts which were filmed in wee Scotland." (This quote is sourced from Mint Casting's Facebook page and could not be independently verified via the web searches conducted for this article.) No further character details were given, but the post confirms on-screen work rather than background or extra work.
Bruna Borges, an actor and model also on Mint Casting's books, was credited in a separate post: "A massive well done to our very own Bruna Borges, featuring in the latest Arnold Clark Adverts." (This quote is sourced from Mint Casting's Facebook page and could not be independently verified via the web searches conducted for this article.)
The Mandy Network, one of the UK's main casting and crew databases, lists eight individuals associated with Arnold Clark productions. Those names are:
The Mandy Network entries do not always specify which campaign or year each person appeared in, so matching a name to a particular advert is not straightforward. If you spotted someone specific in a recent Arnold Clark ad, cross-referencing these names with their individual Mandy profiles is probably your best bet.
The 2016 Arnold Clark SALE TV advert used actors, models, and extras sourced through All Talent Agency. The agency's blog noted at the time: "We are delighted to see our Actor, Models and Extras working it in this energetic advert for Arnold Clark. Filmed her in Glasgow at the end of last year." The blog post also named the cast members supplied: Jamielee McPherson, Chris MacDonald, John Learmonth, Helen MacDonald, Fernanda Doprado, George Drever, Zac Latif, Tony Osy, Adam Cobb, Fiona Ormiston, Keith Harvey, Hema Johar, and Lesley Knowles.
That 2016 campaign is the earliest well-documented example of which agency supplied cast. Arnold Clark has run multiple campaigns since, so the supplier list has likely changed across years.
A YouTube video titled 'Arnold Clark Advert - Lisa and Sid' was uploaded by a channel called Sid Swindel. The channel's low subscriber count suggests a personal upload by someone involved in the production rather than an official Arnold Clark channel. Lisa and Sid appear to be the named roles within that particular spot, though the actors playing them are not credited anywhere in the video metadata.
Arnold Clark does not publish cast credits for its advertising campaigns, which is common practice among car dealers. What credits do exist surface through talent agency social media posts, the Mandy Network, and occasional personal uploads by cast members. The public record is patchy as a result: you can confirm that certain named actors worked on Arnold Clark campaigns, but matching a face from a specific advert to a specific name often requires direct contact with the agencies involved. Arnold Clark has also run recruitment-focused TV campaigns. An Instagram reel posted by an actor describes filming 'Arnold Clark - Recruitment Campaign 1 of 2 ads filmed towards the end of 2021', indicating that not all Arnold Clark TV productions are car-sales adverts, some target job applicants. The actor described themselves as a northern/Yorkshire-based male actor, suggesting casting has not been exclusively Scottish for all campaigns.
Mint Casting (mintcasting.co.uk) and the Mandy Network (mandy.com) are the two best starting points if you are trying to identify someone from a recent Arnold Clark ad. Searching the actor's name alongside "Arnold Clark" on either platform will usually surface any credited work.
Multiple campaigns have been filmed in Scotland, which makes sense given that Arnold Clark is a Glasgow-founded dealership group. Both the 2016 SALE advert and the more recent Mint Casting campaigns were confirmed as Scottish productions. Glasgow appears to be the primary location, though individual shoots may vary. Arnold Clark has at least one named brand ambassador, golfer Robert MacIntyre, who features in social content on the official Arnold Clark TikTok channel (@arnold_clark). Ambassador appearances differ from paid acting roles and would not appear on casting databases such as the Mandy Network.
