Well auditions and callbacks are in the bag, and I have emerged with a stellar cast. I wrote before about how the women blew me away in auditions. Well the men did not disappoint. I had an incredible turnout for the mens audition, and much like the women making cuts to get to callbacks was very difficult.
I scheduled three hours for callbacks, thinking that three would be plenty. How naive of me!!! I would like to commend and thank all the actors for their time and talent, it must have been a long night for them.
The fight for the lawyer roles was particularity tough. I read many actors in many combinations, and EVERYONE was bringing it. It got to the point that I was hoping an actor would do something outrageous like throw up on my shoes, so I would have SOME reason to take them out of the mix.
In the end I put together a truly incredible cast. Here they are. Congrats guys!!
