In the Spotlight: Josh Ropiequet, CSA
Teachers, Theater, and the Art of Casting with Josh Ropiequet
Title: Associate Casting Director
Company: Lowry Johnson/Goldstein Casting
Award: 39th CSA Artios Awards – Associate Casting Director Spotlight Award
We were honored to sit down with Josh Ropiequet, CSA, a true gem in the casting world and a proud Chicago native. In this episode, Josh goes deep into his journey—from growing up in the Windy City to becoming a celebrated casting associate in Hollywood.
Josh shares touching stories about his parents and the teachers who shaped his path—both in high school and at Northwestern University, where his love for theater and storytelling truly flourished. His reflections on those early influences were both heartfelt and powerful, reminding us of the importance of mentors and guidance.
Now working with Lowry Johnson/Goldstein Casting, Josh has contributed to hit series including:
Yellowjackets (Showtime) Night Sky (Amazon) Deadwood: The Movie (HBO) Girls on the Bus (Max)
He not only gave us an inside look at the casting process—from breakdowns to callbacks—but also did so with such clarity and kindness. His actor-friendly approach, shaped by his own background in performance, makes him a true ally to emerging talent. Through workshops, mentorship, and sincere encouragement, Josh continues to uplift and inspire.
Josh was an absolute delight to have on. His openness, wisdom, and authenticity made this conversation unforgettable. We’re grateful he shared such a rich, informative, and personal look into his world.

From Chicago roots to Hollywood rooms—this is Josh Ropiequet.
