What Does a Casting Director Do?

I have worked with thousands of actors over the years and cast scores of projects. Many actors I know have not understood the role of the casting director. Actors tell me that they get very nervous when auditioning for casting, or they think casting directors aren’t very accessible. They are afraid to communicate with us or ask questions—even sending a thank you note after the audition feels like a big deal. Many consider the casting director the gatekeepers for actors to get that callback or even the job itself.

Our job is to collaborate with producers, directors, network and studios executives to cast the best talent for each role. We work to fulfill the creative vision of this team of artists. As casting directors, we get to help bring the vision of projects to life with our casting choices.
