Abstract

"Here's the thing about auditions: Those actors represent who you are and what your vision is", says seven-time Emmy-nominated casting director Robin D. Cook ("The Shape of Water", "The Handmaid's Tale", "Room"). When she was putting together the ensemble of her 2016 indie "Before the Sun Explodes", filmmaker Debra Eisenstadt says that her team "sought actors who were not only talented and open-minded, but who had a strong identification with the roles for which they were auditioning." Features Backstage Guide "FORREST GUMP" WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THE SAME WITHOUT Tom Hanks; "The Woman King" might have lost its luster had Viola Davis not played the lead. [Extracted from the article]
