Background moved to the foreground as four of the most influential casting directors in New York participated in a panel on April 11 titled Background Actors Front and Center: An Evening with Casting Directors. Hosted by the New York Background Actors Committee and moderated by New York Local Board member Avis Boone, the panel provided a lively evening of advice and encouragement from the experts. Panelists shared their insights on how background actors can best present themselves before the job, on the job and after the job to give them the best chance to book the next one. Look for more seminars focusing on background performers.
