starsearchcasting

Back in 1998, after working in the entertainment industry for a number of years as a talent scout, I became aware of so many individuals with tremendous potential that just weren't getting the exposure they needed to succeed. That's when I first conceived of Star Search Casting as a way to help people be "discovered" by getting their faces and resumes in front of thousands of entertainment professionals who were in the position to hire them. Years in development, Star Search Casting became not only the most sophisticated casting site with the most advanced search engine, talent database, and tools to help you get maximum exposure, it also became the number one site where industry professionals go to find new talent!! I can't tell you how absolutely thrilled I am that SSC has achieved the goal I had in mind when it was originally created! Further, I'm extremely excited to introduce our new Star Search Casting website that has all the advanced tools we've developed over the years, but is now more user-friendly, simpler to navigate and easier for you to find exactly what you're looking for. It brings me great personal pleasure when reading the countless emails and letters I receive from our satisfied Members, to know that Star Search Casting has not only helped to change an industry, but has played a significant role in helping thousands of talented people achieve their dreams.
