From Bridgerton to Broadchurch, Kelly Valentine Hendry has helped define modern TV.
In this episode, she pulls back the curtain on the art — and chaos — of casting:
✨ How algorithms are deciding who gets cast
🎭 Why “musical theatre snobbery” is finally dying
💥 The brutal truth about self-tapes
💡 And why great actors are found everywhere — from the West End to a Zoom audition
It’s smart, honest, and full of the wisdom only a top casting director could share.
