How Movies Actually Get Cast
BAFTA winning casting director Nicky Barrett returns for part two, pulling back the curtain on how movies actually get cast: where star power, financier lists, and directors who need "director-proof" actors collide with the search for something real.

Part 1 was released last week.Host: Emile ShermanProducer: @jonahprimo on Instagram, Jonah Primo on LetterboxdComposer: @AdiescarArtwork: @studiostrombergA See-Saw Films Production Hosted on Acast.
