What people HAVE SAID about Hollywood South Casting

“On a recent weekend afternoon offices were filled with children ages 4 to 14 interested in appearing on an unspecified “network reality” TV program. There were veteran stage children with professional head shots and children whose mothers had taken their pictures, children from up the street and over the state line, a 7-year-old who already had an agent and the 4-year-old twins who were spotted by colleagues while having their matching red mohawks waxed.”

— Campbell Robertson, New York Times

“Thanks to today’s technology, we can now do many things without leaving the comfort of our homes.  That now includes becoming a movie star. Casting director, founder and CEO of Hollywood South Casting discusses this evolving facet of the film industry. “
