Agreed - this is a practical and smart approach - cast your characters and not the actors. I'll share this with several directors I know. Thanks, Maurice Vaughan!

Maurice Vaughan. Maybe we should start a new TOPIC on Casting. "Cast the Character, not the Actor." What do you think. I'd really like to get more of a discussion going and I think I need your help.

That's a great idea, Mark W. Travis. You're welcome to make a new topic on casting in the Acting Lounge. Or you could write a blog about it if you like. If you want to write a blog, email Ashley Smith at blog@stage32.com.
