Confessions of a Casting Director

This week's episode features the May 20, 2020 live recording from Jen Rudin's FREE Wednesday chats for parents and young actors.

Founder and President of Take 3 Talent Agency, Natasha has been working in the entertainment arena for almost 15 years. In 2009, after working at WPLJ/Radio Disney, MTV in the Press Dept, and Product Model Management she launched Take 3 as a bi-coastal boutique full-service platform for young emerging artists looking for representation and development in the areas of television, film, and commercials. In 2012, Natasha strategically and successfully added multiple new divisions, creating a home for more established artists and adding the 18+ divisions in commercials, voiceover, television, film, and theatre. In 2017, Take 3 launched its comedy, branding, packaging, and influencers divisions, making Take 3 a premiere full-service mid-size talent agency, shedding the boutique title, but not its approach. Natasha oversees all divisions but manages tv/film/packaging for T3’s emerging young talent. She currently manages the careers of Lily Brooks O’Briant (The Big Show Show), Brian Michael Smith (9-1-1 Lone Star), Jacob Laval (HBO Plot Against America, John Mulaney’s Sack Lunch Bunch), Haskiri Velasquez (Saved By The Bell [Peacock]), Jaylin Fletcher (Snowpiercer, Clickbait), Isabella Ferriera (Love, Victor; Orange is the New Black), Uly Schlesinger (Generation HBO Max), Quinn Mccolgan (Non-Stop, Mildred-Pierce, Blue Bloods), Bailey Bass (Avatar Sequels), Curtiss Cook Jr. (CMP, Bull, Power), Jillian Lebling (Bridge of Spies, Blacklist), Madison Lagares (On Your Feet!, Search Party, School of Rock), Wolfgang Lacz (Kevin Can Wait, Jim Gaffigan Show), Nadia Affolter (Jack Ryan, Blacklist) and several more.

Natasha holds a Bachelor’s degree in music business management, graduated Valedictorian and Summa Cum Laude from FTC in Dix Hills, NY. She lives in NYC with her husband; Emmy Award-Winning Producer, Dave Marken. She is a huge country music fan, loves musical theatre, fashion, travel, anything gold and sparkly, and will admit, CW shows and rom-com’s are her guilty pleasure.
