Performers That Actually Blacklist Casting Directors
Aug 6th, 2009 by Alan Yu
Interesting rumblings I heard today while on set. Essentially, there is this one casting director who’s name always seems to come up when people talk about someone who they dislike working with or has the worst reputation. Some people commented that because of that they refuse to work for him when they get called.
Similarly, a lot of production staff that I had heard from say the same thing and now the person apparently lost all of his best workers too. That was very interesting I thought as sure enough this casting director doesn’t have the same amount of work compared to the past.
What this really showed me too that as a performer this is an example on how the casting director needs you just as much as you need them. Cause really, productions go with them because they trust that they have the connections to acquire the necessary talent to make things happen for the show.
The relationship definitely goes both ways.
