A small boy had a meltdown in a casting the other day and wrote us a letter to apologise. I’m going to send it back to him on his 18th birthday or sell it when he’s mega famous 🤷🏻♀️

So happy to have been made a probationary member of the Casting Directors Guild
Returning to the UK as lockdown struck was tough, getting back to work and doing what I love over the last few months has really helped me through. I love my job.
Bring on the rest of 2020!

So so sad to see that Doctors has been cancelled. My first job in casting and hundreds of actors’ first tv job. Also, what other show would let you cast Ruth Madoc, Sue Pollard & Paul Chuckle in a retirement home love triangle…!?
The BBC has taken the very difficult decision to bring daytime drama Doctors to an end after 23 years

The Doctors Team work harder than anyone else I know (Not even being biased) They are the biggest employer of actors in the UK every year and deserve your vote!

Being out of the house and working has done absolute wonders for my mental health. If anyone hears of any work Casting or otherwise please give me a nudge...! I went back to my roots as a runner this week, today I ate 2 pastries and 2 Crème brûlée’s so I’m happy. I love catering.

Hey actors! Can you all let your agents know when you’re going on holiday? Mainly so I can be nosey, ask where you’ve gone and say “lucky for some!!! I’m well jel.” But also so I can stop banging my head against the desk. Worried it might dent.
