I’ve been going through my archive casting shots and have found a number of rather special ones…for starters, check out these very fun photographs which I took of brilliant actor Asa Butterfield @asabfb way back in 2006.

In the past week I've read three awesome exciting promising film scripts. Hope they happen. I also TURNED DOWN three advertising campaign castings because the fees on offer for actors were SO LOW that I would be deeply uncomfortable (embarrassed, even) to work on those projects.

Looking at submissions on @SpotlightUK for 3 roles I'm casting for a short film, I'm sad for actors who haven't got a showreel. The director & I really need to hear them speak & watch them perform & move. Even a simple monologue would be good & doesn't have to cost much to film.

Yes the news is depressing. But so's the fact that many of the 833 actors whose submissions I've received on @SpotlightUK for a role in a low-budget short don't have a showreel. Actors, why not spend lockdown filming a simple monologue at least...it will help your chances hugely.

Only just after 10.00am and it's a Happy Monday already for the 11 subjects I cast for an airline campaign as I was just asked to tell them that they're all being paid additional fees plus for the 3 fab actors who are on set at a photoshoot in a cafe, a shop and a barber's today

So, in the 1980s I spotted these skinheads in Camden dressed as characters from 'Clockwork Orange'. I asked them if they'd like a trip to the seaside. Payment: A case of beer. I drove them in a minibus! Below are my snaps @iainmckell 's pics of them were in The Face #streetcasting

Aaaarrrghh it's back to nail-biting again as I'm casting 2 advertising campaigns with incredibly short turn-arounds! Received some fab self tapes for one job & am eagerly awaiting a shortlist from clients so I can request self-tapes for the other which they need to see tomorrow!!

I don't want to sound ageist...but...I'm working on a casting for a pharmaceutical advertising shoot & the actors with a playing age of 50-55 are on top of their game & have sent me brilliant selfies so speedily. (Maybe those folk with a playing age of 35-45 are still in bed?🙂)

As well as working on castings for 2 short films & real couples for a commercial, I found 4 massive laundry bags in the shed full of my casting photos (2002-5) which I've been looking at, finding some real gems, thinking of actors who are no longer with us & tearing up the shots!

@nikkimcasting I try to find out where actors are travelling from and then make sure that they can have a casting appointment later in the day so they don't have to travel at expensive peak times. Some agents are loathe (scared?) to ask us (very friendly) CDs to give their actor a later slot...

What a weekend! As well as watching 759 hilarious self-tapes for a big restaurant TVC, I had the huge pleasure of being asked to confirm 12 incredibly expressive interesting-looking actors (plus 12 paid Covid back-ups to be on stand-by at home) for a very exciting car TVC🤗🎭🎬❤️

Since Monday I've been 'heavily pencilled' to work on castings for FOUR totally different projects...all of which (I've been told..) *should* get the go-ahead today...or tomorrow... Simultaneously my actor husband has been 'on pencil' for one job for two weeks...😩✏️😫✏️😩✏️😫✏️

A good day. It's sunny. Got a heartwarming email from the producer on yesterday's shoot saying how thrilled the clients were with the 4 actors I cast & I just called 3 agents to say their actors from an old advertising campaign were getting an additional year's usage fee🤗🎭🎬❤️

I'm very happy for the actor I confirmed for next week's credit card advertising campaign photoshoot. And it's better-than-nothing (I suppose) for a second actor who I booked to be the paid Covid back-up. Yes, I wrote to thank all the others who submitted selfies for this job too

Did some fashion modelling today!😂 These fabulous sweaters were all knitted for me by my adorable late mother-in-law Pat Cape back in the early 1990s.🧶 ('Oversize jumpers' were well trendy at the time!) But, eeek...someone said the first one looks like a Coronavirus design!🙁😟
