Entertainment NewsActors' Start Petition to Crackdown on "Illegal" Casting Director Workshops

Actors’ Start Petition to Crackdown on “Illegal” Casting Director Workshops

Date:

This news comes after the casting director behind CBS Criminal Minds was allegedly fired from the show following an investigation by The Hollywood Reporter.

Scott David started his own acting classes called The Actors Link “which charged those seeking roles on his show and others for audition classes taught by those concurrently in a hiring position on network, cable and streaming shows.”

And just last night, casting director of The Vampire Diaries cancelled all acting workshops in Atlanta, Georgia.

According to the previous investigation, one source revealed that “Half the people that are on network television today paid for their job interview — the one-liner roles.” In fact, this problem is so wide spread that the actor’s union, SAG-AFTRA and the Casting Society of America are worried about the workshops. But, they are left powerless unless, city officials act or even prioritize the issue.
