That’s the Business

August 25, 2005 by Dennis Baker 

For commercials, if you are not called the next day you probably don’t have it. They work that fast. TV works just as fast, usually a day or two after the producers session. Feature Films are a bit slower, they usually have about six weeks to cast the project. All this to say the film I lamented about below, thinking the probably won’t call me in. Well I have a callback on Saturday. I had not heard anything for about four days and assumed they passed. This business if full of contradictions. As soon as you think one way about something, the opposite usually happens. I was a Q&A with Tony Sepvulvada, VP of Warners Brothers Casting (Good questions Kate Renee) and he prefaced everything he said with “this is my opinion, and you will probably hear a Casting Director say the opposite”. So while waiting for my brain to stop spinning, I say…Welcome to the business.
