What I want to see is more mixed casts. We need it. People need to be brave - in the real world, everyone and anyone is around. So if people get to see themselves on the stage, they'll want to come.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think there are shows that are long-running and successful, where some or all of the cast members hate each other, but I think it's a lot easier to have an environment where everyone feels secure and supported to do the best work possible.
I just always wanted to sit in a casting session and see all of the train wrecks that come in.
I think diversity has to happen on a storytelling level, not just on a casting level.
Casting is everything. If you get the right people they make you look good.
At this stage, what would be rewarding would be for audiences to want to watch.
I think audiences are quite comfortable watching something coming into being.
I love casting against type and doing things you wouldn't expect, because I think you get more interesting performances that way. Hollywood loves to pigeonhole people, and there's nothing an actor loves more than to do something different.
To me, casting is all about finding a character within the actor off the screen as much as on the screen.
Sometimes it's all about the casting.
Casting, to me, is always the same. It's a very important part of a director's job. I pick people that I sense I'd like to be in a room with and will enjoy the rehearsal process with because that's the best part.
