Take 115 - Steven O’Neill, Head of Casting, Universal Content Productions

Screaming into the Hollywood Abyss

We talked to Head of Casting at Universal Content Productions, Steven O’Neill.
He proudly talks about his work helping people achieve their dreams, how he fell in love with casting and what the pandemic did to change the process.
He talks about how to deal with disagreements with showrunners, separating behaviour from performances and running into actors who he hasn’t cast.
A fascinatingly honest, rather inspirational discussion about helping Hollywood dreams come true.
