Today we get to chat with Casting Director and President of the Casting Society of America Russell Boast. Russell, who hails from South Africa has a very unique intro into the business, from the theater world near Durban, to working with tribes in Africa, and coming all the way to Hollywood to become an advocate for casting directors all of the world. He’s cast projects like the Chance, and Insatiable, Wicked City, Dark Web and a whole lot more. We discuss the importance of opportunity and being able to see yourself in the media we consume, and giving casting directors the voice to be seen and heard in today’s media landscape.
