Things Have Gone Wild - About Vampire Diaries Casting Director - Greg Orsen
Latest News Featured Article Casting Board Film Competitions Select State

Well, I can't tell you how crazy things have gone since we announce that Vampire Diaries Casting Director - Greg Orsen is coming out to Australia in 10 days time.

I have held a few more spots for QOS readers and then we are sold out.

Alan Nusbaum from TVI and John Orscik from TAFTA who have put together these awesome sessions are totally blown away and have actually had to add another couple in Melbourne.

I just want to give you the inside story as to how these casting directors get to be in Aus.

Alan Nusbaum from TVI has been running TVI Studios in New York and LA for many years now. He used to actually be a Talent Agent in LA before that.

He has great teachers at TVI and Greg used to teach for him - (before he became one of Americas best and busiest Casting Directors).
Alan has been trying to get Greg to come out to Australian and check out the talent here for quite some time - but the problem with these amazing industry professionals - is that they are ALWAYS working. So they never have the down time to come out.

Well - Greg has a 2 week window/break in his casting from Vampire Diaries and as a favour to Alan, he agreed to give up his holiday time to come out to Australia.


I CAN'T TELL YOU - HOW AWESOME IT WILL BE TO HAVE THE CHANCE TO WORK WITH SOMEONE WHO IS SO HIGH UP IN THE CASTING WORLD IN AMERICA.

Greg Orsen really is as big as you get.

Have you checked out his cv yet - I will list it for you below because it really just tells the story of what this guy is across.

From a casting perspective - he is across EVERYTHING.

SO....QOS readers, you need to book asap - as I can't hold these spots any longer.
The notice about this course has now gone general and as I said early, there are only a few spots left on each session.

Cheers
Lee
