Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Allison Jones (Award-Winning Casting Director)

The higher up the food chain you go in terms of auditioning, I get as nervous as the actor does. And when it's like a final audition, you'll hear my voice quiver like you hear it quivering now. Oh, really? Oh, gosh. Just because you care? Obviously. Probably. And I want to get the job done, too. And I want them to do a good job.

Mom was a housewife, which is what women were wont to do back then. And my father was an insurance executive. Very nice childhood. Kind of predictable. A Norman Rockwell painting? Not that. Not quite. We won't go that far.
