185- Atmospherians
from Roman Mars Hosted by Roman Mars
The phrase 'from Central Casting' has become a kind of cultural shorthand for a stereotype or archetype, a subject so visually suite to its part it appears to have been designed for that role. Search the news for 'straight out of Central Casting' and you will find examples referring to athletes, executives, politicians and philanthropists. Not everyone who uses the reference realizes that there is an actual Central Casting, located in Burbank, California (with additional offices in New York and New Orleans). Nor do most people realize that this company is the single biggest source of extras for Hollywood productions.
