Casting directors fight, fight, fight so much for actors. I brought this up recently. I wish actors could appreciate how much we do fight for them.

You can tell when certain people are annoying in the room when they're auditioning that they're maybe a little rough on the director. Directors can tell that too. Somebody will read and ask questions or ask the wrong questions. The way you can read people in general, even though somebody who waits on you at McDonald's is like that little prick. I bet she's a great mom. Exactly.

The way you can read people, it's just a people reading thing. And yes, I do believe I have instincts for that. Though in terms of behavior in the past, I don't ever repeat it unless I've seen it or it's been on a movie that I've worked on. Like somebody will say, don't ever hire that actor. They're difficult. Yeah. I want to make sure it's accurate.

So many actors get a bad rap because they didn't get on with the director or a producer and it's actually the director who is the problem. Yeah. It happens so much to women. Yes.

This woman is difficult and come on, you know.

And then you hear the director's name. It's like, come on. Right. Women still do not have a leg up.

I'll never work again. All the casting executives, the levels of people that we have to go through. Right. And the levels of people that we have to CC and update.

I'm talking about in a studio or film television. There's so many levels and it really throws me off my game. And this has been for decades, frankly. In casting, you need, like what we're doing now, we're tracing people back for 30 years.
