- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ส.ค. 2024
- Juliet Taylor, Ellen Lewis, Patricia DiCerto, Laura Rosenthal and Jennifer Euston reveal secrets of their craft and why women rule their industry. THR senior editor Stacy Wilson asks the roundtable guests how they felt after hearing former DGA president Taylor Hackford say in Casting By: "Casting directors don't direct anything," and therefore don't deserve to be recognized with their own Oscar.
Can we get an updated version of this??? I would love to see the evolution of casting. Also if you do, please get Nina Gold!
Yes Nina Gold interviews so hard to find!!!
The government satellite controllers are still hitting me in the face and teeth and it causes damage everytime 1-19-2023
Agreed.
thank you for bringing back stacey wilson as the interviewer. she's much better than her colleagues.
Yes, she's my favorite! She's so likeable and easy to talk to so it helps people open up and tell good stories. Stephen Galloway, her colleague or boss (i'm not sure), is the worst. He is so cold, so the energy in the room is always awkward during his roundtables. Also, sometimes he asks questions in a condescending or rude way. Stacey needs to do all of the roundtables! Love her :)
This table is....SQUARE.
rollership rectangle
ahahahha
I really enjoyed this roundtable a great deal. Thank you all for your time and insightful commentary!
Very interesting panel! I love this different roundtables where we get to hear from people of all diferents sides of the movie making process not only actors.
Can you please host this again? I am very curious to hear about the era of the self tape from the casting director’s POV.
Love this table. Such honest, caring, smart nurturers of talent!
If you watch "Casting By" you will understand why what these people do is important and takes talent.
They were awfully quiet on the subject of diversity. I would have liked a little more push from the interviewer especially given the year we've had for television and film.
***** Well said. I was disappointed by the *cricket* response with the added canned comments too. Another example why this country has a difficult time talking about racism and sytemic racism.
can we please evolve out of the skin color business, and focus on diversity in minds or something? No one goes to BET awards and complains that the skin color ratio is off.

Probably they know that systemic racism does not exist but if they dare say otherwise, they would be crucified.
Unfortunately though, you can't really talk about diversity at the casting director level. You have to start at the writer and director. If a part is written specifically for... Because that writer's experience is so linear, then the CD's can only fill that order. They aren't going to shit on their money either and throw them under the bus.
I def want to see them grill the writers/directors more on opening up their world.
32:30 they start talking about it...
This was super interesting, and I agree with beatniece, Stacey Wilson is by far the most pleasant and competent interviewer.
I think casting directors would receive more credit if such a large percentage of them didn't charge actors money to be seen ("workshops").
How much do they charge?
@@ms.m3n Sometimes upwards of $300
It's usually the lower tier CD's who really don't get the very big Jobs or they really haven't booked CD work over 5 years as I've noticed.
@@Filmation77 Bingo. Juliet, Taylor and Marion Dougherty, never did workshops!
This was a great roundtable
Tough field to work in especially one that is predominantly controlling females. Glad they're finally getting the recognition they deserve. Thanks THR for sharing!
I see that we need more diversity within the “casting” community…like I notice mostly older white women…who fumble awkwardly through the diversity discussion….
This is better and profound than those agents interviews. I wish I am in NY so that I can work for any of them.
Great round table! Thank you Women in Casting Director World!
This was fantastic. I urge all aspiring actors, directors and producers to watch this. These people are the lynchpin to success.
As someone who may need to make some casting decisions, in the near future, for the very first time, I appreciate these experienced, successful casting directors sharing some wisdom they've gained throughout their careers. And thank you THR!
hehe, same boat! :)
This was so AMAZING and informative. It helps to hear about what CDs go through. I am always so happy to get in front of the casting personnel. I think it's the thrill of trying to entertain and impress them with my work.
How is it still a thing that gay men/women cannot play the romantic lead, and actors hesitate in being cast as gay characters?!? They are ACTORS. No one bats a lash when they play a murderer, or a saint... It's their job, it does not say ANYTHING about who they are in real life. Baffled.
Maybe a lot of actors feel like it would be hard to put themselves in the character of someone attracted to the same sex, when that's something they've never experience.
shut up
it's not about who they are in real life. It's about the requirements of the role in 'fake life'/ the movie. Murderers don't actually kill anyone in movies (no one actually dies). Gay roles, require you to be gay, especially if it's specified that you're gay in the role. That means being intimate with the same sex. Some people arent comfortable making out or simulating sex with the same sex. The difference is what you have to do on the set, not how people see you outside.
Very interesting Roundtable. I appreciate the section where you all speak of the strengths you have as women and what those bring to your success in doing your job. I see this is 2013, maybe that kind of talk would be more difficult today (everyone on social media is looking for someone to burn for whatever reason they can.) and it's just true. We all have our own strengths and weaknesses. I just moved to LA and while I'm primarily writing, I hope to run into some of y'all someday for future opportunities.
Love all the roundtables.
One of the funnest tables I've watched
The young one speaking on vocal fry the whole time is on my last nerve. The rest of them are awesome!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This was really interesting! Post more please!
I love their camaraderie I love how they are like real friends. Great Round Table.🦋📽
Thank you all for this ~ great stuff 🙂
Loved this. Casting Director out of Montana! Keep up the hard work ladies!
Internships are for children of wealthy people, it excludes poor and working class people. That's the point. It fast tracks the kids whose parents can subsidize them so it keeps the jobs in the elite families. Besides, unpaid work is slavery which is illegal.
The condescending comment on this point by the older woman "we are a select group" made me want to vomit slightly.
If all casting agents come from similar backgrounds then it's likely they will share similar unconcious biases for who fits which type of role. A director can only choose from those people put in front of them.
Unpaid internships clearly mean that the best people for the job may be excluded from ever applying.
It's a good idea. When are we going to see an Editors Roundtable? And I don't even care that you guys never use an actual round table.
We need an updated version 😃
what an amazing insight into the importance of these roles. Awesome and great.
Juliet taught me so much! OMG!!!
Very insightful ! thank you ladies :)
Best Panel in a month! More CD panels & Actor Panels the better! : )
This is must watch for any up and coming actor
You all do great work!
this is so great! thank you :)
Thank you for sharing! Take care.
CLEARLY A DOUBLE STANDARD
Evidence A = 30:36
Evidence B = 3:15
CLEARLY A DOUBLE STANDARD THAT THEY SEEM COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS TOO
*ALL BUT PATRICIA
Amazing women.
There should be a more talk/questions about Casting Actor of color
Caroline granger Amen! Theres so much more work to be done in the industry.
@@iedwards1061 you people are like a plague. Look what you did to Hollywood now. Everything is anti white
Would also love to see an update of this.
Thank you for this. Inspiring women !
I met Juliet Taylor decades ago, she was very kind. This was before my BA, before Strasberg, before I did anything. Looking back I feel like a total idiot about that day, handing her a video of some school play I did, which she probably never watched and I hope she doesn't lol Before you contact a casting agent, get some training, some local experience, read, write, learn. We live, we learn and if we stick with it, we make lemonade
Actors be saying all sorts of compliments to get a role
Very helpful to understand that the casting directors are under this budget pressure for high profiles to help the movie on a creative and budget worthy level so it pays back. Dig the the fact the the scary guy got the job that maybe nobody liked because he was a sell gives my art side outside of society side hope that is my heart before I accepted acting into my life ..
I love how these white people are talking about race like they have a bloody clue.
Yeah, because white casting directors couldn't possibly have any idea if they have freedom or not to select actors of other ethnicities...
So, "white" people have no race? Every race on this planet, regardless of the color of their skin, has experienced prejudice (Irish, Slavic, Polish, Middle Eastern, Hispanic, etc...), so we ALL have, not only the right to promote diversity in art, but the responsibility to do so. It's great that the interviewer brought it up.
Paula Harvey I agree with some of your comment but please stop mixing up race with nationality and ethnicity.
Pia M. What are your definitions of race, nationality, and ethnicity?
That statement, somehow was the product of your brain. Let it sink in, your brain went thru a process and formed that statement. It is one of the DUMBEST comments on youtube.
Fantastic! Super insightful.
What's the name of the track during the intro?
THEY ALL SEEM TO GO SILENT AS PATRICIAS SAYS THIS = 11:20
CURIOUS...
WERE THEY FEARFUL OF SOMETHING?
Thank You
Jennifer - lose the vocal fry valspeak - you're 41 years old.
That’s her natural voice due to an accident so...
Jennifer Euston has such great personality, hard not to love her
Would be better if they did not talk over each other so much... doesn't happen so much on the other round tables... especially Jennifer Euston, loving the sound of her own voice....
Grrr...interesting but that blonde woman in black ruins it for me. I think if she was edited out, the content of this episode would still be solid. She talks too much overtaking the more experienced women, also she doesn't mainly work on movies.
baseboots
So what if she doesn't work much on movies?
Why isn't Pat Moran in this discussion?
Loved it much love & respect to casting!
These bitches act like there job is so important. Most of the great directors work exclusively with the actors they want and love not ones that casting directors love. Casting and producers work together to maximize profits by casting some flavor of the week. They do more harm than good in most of the situations.
Where are the CD's of color?
This didn’t age well…the privilege of it all 🙄
Great video - making films is a team effort - we are all on the same team. I've worked as a casting director and actress / reporter - so I've seen both sides of the camera :-)

HR for movies....
I actually agree with these ladies about having an advantage in this field being a woman. But I cant imagine THR letting a guy say something like this. At least thats what I get from the interviews lately.
ov vey, so sad. women, the nurturing multitasking hosts. blast from the past
I need to create a workshop to help Hollywood in tech! Working on it ladies!
My DREAM is to become a casting director
I want to be a casting director....I have an eye for good talent...
good interviewer
What a diverse roundtable 🥰
What are some of your take aways from this?
Go women, yes we are smarter.... Thank you for this!
Lmfao
I understand why they cant talk about conflicts with directors/producers regarding certain actors. having said that, without this information its kind'a boring....
i thought jennifer was in her 20s
Some of the questions she asks are really condescending and judgemental towards actors.
quorum ADORE EM !
Hello
This was really interesting!!! But the lady being overly humble -- if you don't want to answer questions, why do a roundtable? Nevertheless, all the women told some good stories. As for the negative people in the comment section LOL you are just jealous that they are rich and successful and you are not.
really gd stuff
Casting "agents", you mean?
the table is not round :3
Never heard of any of these people. Why all women as well. No male casting directors of importance. Very one sided and biased if you ask me.
H,M,R & D
Such strong womennnnn. They think so highly of themselves just because of that it’s funny
ugh why do they talk like they are important? how come they are? they basically pick people they arent artists
so according to you casting is not important for movies and tv shows? huh?
casting is, but casting directors arent
clearly not
Pinkdustland
picking the right person makes or breaks a production. and having the eye and skill to see the right talent paired to the right role is crucial. thats why they are important.
THE LORD WILL NOT HOLD HER GUILTLESS FOR TAKING HIS NAME IN VAIN . EXODUS 20:7
HELLFIRE AWAITS HER SOULS ARRIVAL THERE.
These women are inspiring! I agree, internet is opening and closing doors for actors. You can't replace 'vis a vis'.
