Casting Director
Casting Directors is responsible for setting interviews up with actors/actress and for booking a location. The Casting Directors works closely with the director, producer, and script writer to try and hire the best possible actors.
When the parts are cast, the Casting Director negotiates fees and contracts for the actors, and acts as a liaison between the director, the actors and their agents.
Casting Directors must have an extensive knowledge of actors and their suitability for a particular role. On larger productions, Casting Directors may supervise casting assistants, who will support and assist them in this work.
