🎙️ New Full episode of How We Role is out now.

And thank you to @thekennedymartin for the great question!

“What if stardom never happens?”

That’s what Casting Directors Brett Greenstein and Collin Daniel want actors to seriously think about. Because the actors who last long in this industry usually aren’t the ones chasing fame. They’re the ones committed to the work.

From Netflix’s Nobody Wants This to Never Have I Ever, Superstore, and more, Brett and Collin join host Robert Peterpaul on How We Role to talk auditions, working with Kristen Bell, self-tapes, and social media scouting.

New episode drops Tuesday.

“What made them call you in?” That’s the question Casting Director Luci Lenox wants actors to sit with before diving into audition prep. Because preparation built from confidence creates something very different than preparation built from fear.

“You don’t have to prove to me that you can act. You just have to connect with this wonderful world and this character.”

Luci has been a staple of Barcelona’s film scene for nearly 30 years, and is an experienced international casting director Hollywood frequently calls upon, including for Spanish casting work on productions like The Crown, Warrior Nun, and Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, alongside their lead casting teams.
