ummmm.... still waiting for the casting agent stories

Oh I was in the dregs as far as casting goes.

I ran a production company that specialized in location services. I would negotiate the contracts with homeowners (drawn up by an entertainment lawyer) or get permits from the city for whatever was filming if it was a public location. This led to casting requests so I added that to my repertoire.

It was mostly commercials (I casted several car commercials) and extras for various projects. One example that comes to mind, I ran a location for a TV show called Goliath with Billy Bob Thornton, they needed 100 Mexican extras for the scene. I had to locally round up 100 extras and get them to show up at call time and manage all their vouchers. That was quite the task, it was just me and one assistant. Very hectic day. This was about 10 years ago now.
