Episode 01 - Crossing the Line
Caitlin Joseph is a casting associate to Suzanne Smith casting shows such as Outlander and Good Omens for Amazon and has previously worked as an actress. Here she discusses how huge the challenges can be when casting a show or film and the level of detail and commitment it takes when sometimes all they have is twenty four hours to get an actor from the casting office to set!
Caitlin shares her story of becoming a casting assistant and making the decision to step away from being in the limelight herself as an actress - temporarily at least. We discuss her passion and drive for finding the right person for the role, and challenging the norm by casting the net wider and finding a more diverse option.
