Today on Whats My Frame, I’m joined by Casting Director Anya Colloff. Born and raised in Los Angeles to a family of artists and educators, storytelling has always been at the center of Anya’s life. She earned her BA from UCLA’s School of Theater, Film and Television. It was during her senior year, through an internship in casting, that Anya discovered her love for casting!
After graduating, Anya began her career working with legendary casting directors Jane Jenkins and Janet Hirshenson, where she had the opportunity to collaborate on projects with Steven Spielberg, Rob Reiner, and Ron Howard. In 1999, she co-founded CFB Casting, which later evolved into Colloff/Nicolo in 2011.
Anya is a four-time Emmy nominee and two-time Artios nominee, notable credits include Party Down, New Girl, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Young Rock & High Potential. What she loves most about casting is being part of meaningful storytelling, whether through comedy or drama, and helping artists find their way into roles that truly resonate.
Beyond casting, Anya is a passionate mentor and a deep believer in supporting the next generation of creatives. She currently mentors through weareempower.org bringing the same care, curiosity, and compassion to her life that she brings to her work.
