TRUE STORY
I moved to L A in 1996 and quickly pivoted into casting. I'm best known for casting television's GILMORE GIRLS. with partner Jami Rudofsky. I’ve also cast theatre, indie film and over a decade of pilots.
I gave Rami Malek his first acting job. He and I have different versions of our first meeting. If you'd like to hear his version, click below.
At the suggestion of actor Robert Pine, we had the pleasure of meeting his 21 year old son Chris in 2002. We secured his first agent, and tried to cast him on GG. We are tickled he’s spoken on the impact we had on his early career on podcasts and in interviews.
