POV: Casting
Professional guidance on your headshot, reel, and resume—straight from a casting director.
Chloë Curran has helped cast for projects ABC, NBC, HBO, HULU, FX, The CW, and Lionsgate.
Her casting credits include Station 19, Winning Time, Quantum Leap, The Endgame, The Border, Republic of Sarah, and Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret.
Because casting is ruthless—and so is our advice.
Casting directors review thousands of headshots, resumes, and reels for every role, and the strongest materials are what inspire a closer look.
In my day-to-day, I often find myself offering notes to actor friends, agents, and managers on what’s working in their submissions—and what could be improved.
