Whether you want to work on a film, TV show, commercial or theatrical production, you'll likely be hired by a casting director.
Casting is a vital element to running any successful media or performing arts production so it is shocking how many actors, models,
dancers and singers don't actually know how the casting process works.
Actors and movie extras are hardly ever hired directly by the production company. In most cases, actors and movie extras are hired
by a casting director or casting associate working for the production. A casting director's job is to hire all of the talent required
to fill the acting and extra roles on a production. Ultimately, a casting director or casting associate must first find and then
eventually hire the talent for every main character and movie extra role available on the production. To do this, casting directors
essentially become talent scouts and must be constantly on the lookout for that 'new face' and must be able to spot 'raw talent'.
For most major productions, there are typically two types of casting professionals, a principal casting director and a movie extra
casting director. The principal casting director is responsible for filling all of the speaking roles for the production. The movie
extra casting director, more commonly known as a background casting director, is responsible for filling all of the non-speaking movie
extra (or background acting) roles.
Because productions today have higher budgets than they did just a few years ago, most of these productions now require more talent.
Many more movie extras are needed for these large scale productions. For these types of large film shoots which require hundreds of
movie extras to be cast, casting directors and casting associates may be easily overwhelmed.
