Casting for producers

Casting

Take each role from the script breakdown to a name on the cast list.

See who is up for the part, share choices with the team, cast the role, and keep the actor’s headshot, reps, notes, work dates, and scenes together.

From breakdown to cast list

Cast each role in four steps

Start with the roles already found in the script. Review actors for each part, make the choice, and give production a cast list it can work from.

01

Bring in the roles

See each character with its cast number, scenes, page count, and episode.

02

Add your choices

Put the actors under consideration next to the role and compare them.

03

Make the pick

See who the director or producers like, choose the actor, and mark the role cast.

04

Issue the cast list

Print or export the cast list for the AD team, producers, and production office.

What you need for each role

Notes and dates

How big is the part?

Know the scenes and page count before making the offer

Every role stays tied to the script breakdown, so casting and production can see the size of the part and the work attached to it.

  • See how many scenes the character appears in.
  • See the role’s total page count in eighths.
  • Keep the episode or script label with the role.
  • Open or print the actor’s scenes when you need sides.
