How Movies Actually Get Cast
Episode 20
Tuesday, 18 August, 2026
BAFTA winning casting director Nicky Barrett returns for part two, pulling back the curtain on how movies actually get cast: where star power, financier lists, and directors who need "director-proof" actors collide with the search for something real. The conversation widens into acting styles across cultures, the messy politics of authenticity casting, and closes on a genuinely unresolved question: can an AI performance ever have charisma, or is that something only a human being pretending to be someone else can give you?This is Part 2 of our conversation with Nikki Barrett. Part 1 was released last week.Host: Emile ShermanProducer: @jonahprimo on Instagram, Jonah Primo on LetterboxdComposer: @AdiescarArtwork: @studiostrombergA See-Saw Films Production Hosted on Acast.
