Caitlin Joseph is a casting associate to Suzanne Smith casting shows such as Outlander and Good Omens. We discuss the highlights and the challenges of finding the right cast. Caitlin shares her story of becoming a casting assistant and making the decision to step away from being in the limelight herself as an actress - temporarily at least. We discuss her passion and drive for finding the right person for the role, and challenging the norm by casting the net wider and finding a more diverse option.
