Casting by Allison Jones
Allison Jones is probably a name you’ve seen once or twice before but maybe don’t recognize right away. I would wager a substantial portion of the human population has actually seen her name flash up in the credits.
A casting director oversees the process of assigning actors to roles in various productions, such as films, TV shows, and theater performances. Their responsibilities encompass understanding the script and character profiles, identifying suitable actors through auditions or talent agents, making the final casting decisions, negotiating contracts, and collaborating with the entire production team. Their role is pivotal in shaping the production by selecting a cast that effectively brings the characters to life.
