Casting:
Today, we (Molly - Producer, Pam - Casting Director, and I) went back and forth about a million times about our top picks for Gretchen (the female lead opposite Jon), trying really hard to narrow it down to a single name on a page, a single face, a single personality that we felt best reflected Gretchen. That’s not as easy as it sounds, and the process has been going on for weeks, but I think THINK we finally got there. Now to see if our Gretchen likes us as much as we like her.
Casting is, as I have found, an on-going, constantly changing situation. You try and get a handle on it, you keep lists, you write notes to yourself when you see certain performances in movies, on tv, or in a show, and you try and tell yourself that you know who these characters are and that you know the types of actors or actresses that should play them. And you do know. You do. But then it all gets jumbled up in list of names and IMDB links, and new names are thrown into the pot, certain actors and actresses aren’t available or arent interested in the project, and it all goes sideways.
