Craig Campobasso on Casting, UFOs & Cosmic Storytelling
On this episode of Tom and D, Deren welcomes his friend and casting legend Craig Campobasso—a McDonald’s-commercial kid turned Emmy-nominated casting director, filmmaker, and cosmic storyteller.
Craig’s career kicked off at 15, working on films like Dune and Total Recall, and casting hits like Picket Fences and Amazing Stories. A spiritual awakening at 26 launched his writing path, leading to The Autobiography of an ExtraTerrestrial Saga and the award-winning short film Stranger at the Pentagon.
He’s since become a go-to voice in UFO circles, with best-selling books like The Extraterrestrial Species Almanac and appearances on Ancient Aliens and Coast to Coast AM. His latest? A 2025 documentary based on the Almanac—and yes, it’s out of this world.
