The casting team behind Netflix's Nobody Wants is here to make sure "everybody" wants to cast you! Casting Directors Brett Greenstein and Collin Daniel join host and actor Robert Peterpaul to chat through what actually gets actors hired, from self-tape prep to how tiny choices can make a co-star role feel alive. 

In this episode for actors, you’ll learn:

• What “being prepared” looks like in practical audition terms
• If you need to be off book or not
• How many actors are typically called in for co-star roles
• How props can help or hurt you
• What makes a performance feel specific, natural, and real
• How they scout new talent on Instagram and TikTok
• What they learn from working with legendary talent like Kristen Bell, plus much more!

BRETT GREENSTEIN, CSA, and COLLIN DANIEL, CSA, launched Greenstein/Daniel Casting more than 20 years ago. Together, they have cast hundreds of hours of entertainment.

Their television credits include the global Nobody Wants This, Never Have I Ever, Superstore, Reboot, Shrill, American Housewife, Home Economics, Kenan, BH90210, Melrose Place, 10 Things I Hate About You, The Odd Couple, and Hot in Cleveland. Their film credits include the RuPaul movie, Stop! This! Train!, and Good Burger 2 for Paramount+, which became the streamer’s most-watched original movie in its history. Additional credits: the animated series The Prince and Santa Inc., as well as the Lifetime movie The Menendez Brothers.

In addition to being Artios Award winners, Brett and Collin have received several nominations, including for their casting work on Nobody Wants This.
