the BA #277 breakdown
– Box talks the simple pleasure of coffee after brushing teeth.
– Drinking and routines.
– Rosters are always full, 50 auditions / day and negotiating contracts.
– What you’re looking for in actors, how to hear from your actors and pet peeves.
– Going to shows, wanting to discover talent and having actors intern.
– Growing up in Los Angeles and performing as a kid.
– Stepping away to do normal child things and attending Arizona State University for theatre.
– Getting discouraged auditioning after graduation and having five agents all die.
– A miserable pivot into banquet sales and intern-ing at casting director offices.
– Landing a gig as a junior agent and taking over as head at Avalon Artists.
