Today on Whats's My Frame? I'm joined by casting legend Pat McCorkle! With strong roots in theater and directing, a flair for the unexpected, and tireless perseverance, Pat has left her mark on casting!

Raised in central New Jersey, Pat began working in theater during high school. After graduating from Douglass College, she went on to NYU to earn a graduate degree in theater education, with a focus on directing. She was invited by Alan Wasser to join New York's legendary Broadway theater, The Circle in the Square. Pat quickly found herself drawn to casting and the rest as they say is history!

She moved to TCG, a non-profit casting clearing house for theaters around the country. During her tenure there, she ran the National Student Auditions. She began working with every major regional theater in the United States and Canada; forging relationships and pipelines to new talent which continue to this day, and established her as a new force on the national theater scene.

With Pat's influence in theater firmly established, she branched out into film and television, where she quickly established her company McCorkle Casting. Her eye for spotting young talent continues discovering unknown actors who are future household names. 

Pat's credit's include YEAR BY THE SEA, THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR, DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE, END OF THE RAINBOW, CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF, ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEXT, A FEW GOOD MEN and CALIFORNICATION to just name a few! Pat resumes includes over 100 Broadway & Off Broadway credits; as well as over 100 Films and Television Productions! Please join me in welcoming a true icon & legend of the casting world, Pat McCorkle to the show!
