Ep. 33 Casting Director Dana Gergely Bowling On Casting Kids, And Finding Confidence

Casting Director and fellow mom Dana Gergely Bowling (The Suite Life On Deck, Haunted Hathaways, A.N.T. Farm) shared her insights with me and it felt like I was being tickled with rainbows and sunshine during an East Coast blizzard. I just kept thinking...I need to hear this every day! She was so open and honest about why actors shouldn't be so hard on themselves, what's going on behind the scenes that we don't know about, and how working with Disney was an accidental dream job. She's incredibly candid about finding time for career and family, and how she built a strong business relationship and friendship with her casting partner Brandi Brice. She also has the unique perspective of someone who casts kids, and then goes home to her own kids. She's basically surrounded by kids all day!  Okay that might be exaggerating a tiny bit. Either way if you're an actor, a parent, or aspiring to be both, then you need to listen to this show.
