You started with acting, but stuck with casting instead; what is your favorite part of casting?
It’s fun when you get to
hire somebody for a role, especially if it’s someone that you have been
tracking for a while, who you groomed and brought in over the years.
Getting to call the agent and tell them they got the part is the best
part; when it all works out, that’s a good day of casting.
Have you had actors that you’ve really championed?
Actors have to make casting
directors their fans, and we have to make the client (producing
director) a fan of the actor; it’s a gradual process and doesn’t happen
overnight. There are many actors that I love and fight for. The
challenging thing is that I don’t want to shove my opinion down a
director or studio executive’s throat. Casting is like bartending: My
job is to present the choices to the creative team and hope the
director/producers like the choices.
