CastingDirector
Seattle, WA
Male, 29
As a casting director, I'm responsible for outreaching, interviewing, producing, and delivering cast to a network in accordance to their direction for a specific show. Ask me anything!
Not really a melt down, but in casting capturing the ever elusive "Man-cry" during interviews is GOLD. Especially if it is a big rough and tough type.
Relying on individuals to submit casting videos for consideration on certain types of shows. Many times a casting director is at the mercy of individuals submitting videos. All we can do it wait and hope the video turns out ok.
Saying things like "Everyone always tell me I am the life of the party", or "My friends tell me I am so funny", and the best is "If I make it on TV I know SO many people in my hometown I will get to watch the show!" Yeah, I am sure you do. Your 84 friends watching you on won't exactly make a big impact on ratings. SHOW ME DON'T TELL ME why you should be on TV.
Haha, surprisingly no. I do know a number of friends in the field who have had a relationships with people auditioning for a show they were working on.

Do you occasionally get a little turned off by wine snobbery?EMT
Does your crew ever fake an emergency to slice through traffic?In "reality" television it is a myth. If a casting director was accused of making a pass at a potential contestant, their career would be short lived.
