This is why it is very important to develop relationships with Casting Directors and Directors, you’ll be at the forefront of their minds and may get more opportunities to audition. The Casting Director will then release the breakdowns to agencies. Usually, larger talent agencies will get sent the bigger roles, as these agencies represent very well known and experienced actors. These roles then get submitted to smaller agencies and occasionally get sent out as open casting calls for more specific traits, such as “elderly actor that can do a backflip on a unicycle.” Now that’s something I’d love to see!
