Casting agents are a special breed with ninja skills that are both mysterious and far reaching. They are often the people who find the faces in the crowd that will one day glow from the Oscars stage.
I wish they had an annual list of performers they think are great but haven’t found a slot for. Or a special marketing cheer squad funded by the agencies to promote charismatic performers who are also diverse. Diverse in this context meaning ordinary looking people you see on the tram and immediately want to get to know like the crew in the photograph above.
