CASTING DIRECTORS & INDUSTRY CONTACTS
Victor Vazquez: "Your physicality, I could see you breathe. You earned the pauses. The levels built to the end. You had both levity and 'distortion'. You had it all."
Jeremy Larrere (McCaffrey Casting): "You had all the levels. On set, your first take was already there."
Andrea Bunker: "Your acting is so real. I love that gritty realness. And I loved your materials (reel, pic). We're working on something with Theo Rossi..."
Lindsay Jameyson (in-person): "You're at a high level. Both readings were strong. You came in took control of room, what we want. Remind me of Daniel Buran: acts in both indie & mainstream & sculpts/paints."
Chadwick Struck: "I like your moment-to-moment surprises, levels and intensity."
Melissa Skoff: "So good. The levels, explosion at the end. Nothing to add. Difficult piece and you nailed it. All the levels."
Amanda Alley (Jacoby) (in-person): "Whoa, that was nothing to add, really great work."
Tiffany Little Canfield (submitted self-tape scene, written response): “Really good, felt personal...got a vibe. Had something at stake, great listening. Lots of colors/choices. I felt like I got a sense of you, there was humor, stakes. Great job.”
Mike Page (w/ Arlie Day): “So many colors, levels, showed mental breakdown and humanity, in the moment, real, hit stream of consciousness.”
Lisa Ystrom (Michael Testa office) (in-person): "Great colors. Reminds me of Max Martini in The Tender Bar."
Eve Battaglia: "Would check that box to call you in."
Daryl Eisenberg: "You can use this for an audition to hit it out of the park."
Danielle Markowitz: "Now that's the interesting variety we like to see in our series regulars."
Ani Avetyan (in-person): "Loved monologue, fun yet very believable, variety and surprises."
D Lynn Meyers (ETC Cincinnati; Shawshank, Dark Waters): "Vulnerable, felt it."
Cathy Reinking (Atlanta): "Had a good time, Tom. You want more than indie films."
Ally Beans: "Loved it, you look like Deidrich Bader." (Likes that I also wrote a female comedy.)
Claire Koonce: "Thank you for bringing this to it."
Michael Donovan: "Nice adjustment."
Josy Rodriguez: "Great work, emotion."
Joanna Levinger: “Good, Tom !”
Mia Cusumano: "Strong reading."
