  • Here are some questions I brainstormed on the fly with my wife (who graduated with an acting degree). Feel free to comment on them, tell me which ones are good or which are silly, or how I should tweak the questions. I'd love some feedback--especially other questions y'all want answered, or tips on the order of the questions. Here goes:
    • You are a member of the CSA. What kind of education did you receive to be a casting director?
    • How did you get your start in the business?
    • What's it like owning a business with and working with your sister?
    • What is the process for casting a minor character for Heroes? A major character?
    • How do you find your actors?
    • What do you look for in an actor?
    • How many actors (what percentage) actually audition for their roles? What's the difference between those that do and those that don't?
    • How much say do the directors (or anyone else) have in your choices?
    • What was the toughest Heroes role to cast? The easiest?
    • What's the most surprising story you have about casting for Heroes?
  • It's just a rough draft of ideas, please feel free to add your two cents. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 19:38, 24 June 2007 (EDT)
