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

On a couple of indies I have. You mean financially, by the way. One of them has paid off extremely well. But casting directors, we can't even get paid ads. I mean, we just don't get anything because studios don't care and they don't understand.

You can on indie movies because they do need you to attach some of their leads, things like that. But no, on television, never. If I had residuals on shows like Boy Meets World, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, The Office, I'd be retired right now and I'd be very happy.

But no, we do not. And I wish we did. That's the next step. This year I was able to help negotiate with the AMPTP and the Teamsters. And it was fascinating. And we can only go baby step by baby step. But when we could ever participate, especially in a cast like The Office, which you do do from scratch. Yes. And people do know your value as a casting person. Yes. In a comedy.

Creatively anyway. But thank you for asking that because no, we almost get paid within the same pay range too. I don't get paid much more than anybody else.

That's how they make money, right? The ownership of the show. Anybody who gets to do a pilot, very good. Jim Burroughs is so wealthy.

One of my very early pilots was for a very big then TV producer named James Comack, who did Sanford and Son, and he did all the cool shows. And he had a big home in Beverly Hills that he called Casa Syndication. Oh, my God. Casa Syndication.

Yeah, yeah. But that's a lovely question to ask about if we participate, because no, and I wish I did. No, and you should. And I wish I had. It'll never happen. It's kind of bonkers. Not in my lifetime. It's crazy to me. Or stock options. I'll take stock options, too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I used to sit in Netflix. Okay, don't pay me, but give me a mutual fund of Amazon. Yeah.
