Movie casting can be one of the most rewarding jobs in the industry. You get to see the people you chose for their roles appearing on the screen, acting out their parts in the finished product. Whoever does the casting for a movie is kind of like the mother of the cast - from her, the cast is born, and the look and feel of the story is greatly influenced. We naturally come to associate the movies we love with specific actors, even though the script was brilliant, and the director a genius.
Pay attention the next time you watch a movie with a superb cast that just seems to have been made to work together. Casting a movie involves not only being able to choose the best individual actor for a part, but also being able to choose a cast that you know will work well together as an ensemble. This is especially difficult sometimes in film because due to schedules and various aspects of shooting, two or three actors may have a huge scene together but never even see each other during the course of the shoot!
When you see a movie who's cast impresses you, remember that movie casting is an art just like any other aspect of filmmaking. Watch closely as the credits role by. Soon you may be able to tell who was responsible for casting a movie based on who and what types of actors are starring in the film. Many casting directors have a reputation for casting only the best projects, and they leave a distinct mark on every movie that they cast.
