- Behind the Curtain: Casting Insights with Janet Pound - Part 2
In this episode of the Productions Plus Podcast, host Hedy Popson sits down with longtime friend and industry veteran Janet Pound—whose multifaceted career has taken her from SAG actress to talent agent and respected casting director. With humor and candor, Janet shares the realities of casting, what actors often get wrong (and right), the role of charisma in auditions, and how her unexpected leap into casting changed everything. From working on Gran Torino to receiving direction from Clint Eastwood, Janet offers invaluable advice for both aspiring and seasoned actors. She also discusses her book, Advice from a Casting Director, and the importance of staying ready, authentic, and open to surprise.
Whether you're in front of the camera or behind it, this episode is a masterclass in navigating the industry with heart, humility, and hustle.
