As part of their Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion in Casting initiative, Casting Society of America is hosting a Senior Actors Town Hall in Los Angeles with support from the SAG-AFTRA National Seniors Committee. This current town hall is for a much-needed conversation about the inclusion of senior performers, and those 55+, to better access job opportunities.

Panelists will include: 

  • Moderated by CSA President Russell Boast
  • Tracy Lilienfield (Casting Director, Grace and Frankie)
  • Julia Kim (Casting Director, Spa Night)
  • Candace Stewart (Talent Agent, DDO Artists Agency)
  • Tim Angle (Manager, Shelter Entertainment Group)
  • CJ Jones (Actor, Baby Driver)
  • Alma Martinez (Actor, The Terror)
  • Danielle Kennedy (Actor, Ave. 43)
  • Keone Young (Acotr, Deadwood: The Movie)

Light refreshments will be available.
