I’m sitting down with an incredible casting director and personal life coach, Elizabeth Boykewich. Elizabeth has an impressive resume, having worked on shows like 'Good Trouble', 'Pretty Little Liars', and 'The Bold Type'. She provides an in-depth look at the casting process, explaining her role as an executive casting director and how she selects people not just for their acting skills but also for their off-screen attributes. She discusses looking at actors holistically, her career transitions, the nuances of the casting process, and shares insightful advice and stories about the inner workings of casting.
