With her disarming demeanor, infectious laugh, huge personality, and consummate level of professionalism, Erin Tomasello is one casting director you won’t soon forget. Born and raised in a charming small-town setting in Northern California, Erin always knew she wanted to work in Tinsel town. Her small town

upbringing brings her a sense of affability not often found in Hollywood professionals, while her keen eye for talent has garnered her the utmost respect of her peers. She is responsible for casting hundreds of hours of television, including Emmy award winning programming and is on a never-ending search to find the right cast for any project.
