I’m using this S5 opener as a call to action for actors at every stage of their career to reassess their goals, strategies, and perspective as we really reset how we view “making it and working in today’s industry. I’ll tell you how I do it- by HOLDING THE VISION. NOT THE CIRCUMSTANCES. CONNECT WITH ME:...

Episode 413: John Levey - The Casting Director Series
Think Bigger Actors Podcast
Today’s guest is Casting Director John Levey. He might not like being called a legendary casting director, but when you worked on some of the greatest shows – ER, West Wing, and Shameless – I think we can call ya a legend. Or at least legend adjacent. We chatted about his new book RIGHT FOR THE ROLE (link below) and so much more…but his take on bringing these few things as some of the secret sauce to your work was mind-blowing: Authenticity, Intelligence, Sensitivity, Imagination, Talent!
