John has successfully been
involved in casting all of Nebraska Director Alexander
Payne's films.
John tries to match the
role to the person - often picking people off the street who match
his criteria. He's selected housewives at the market, students in
high schools, security guards - even a couple farmers in Loveland,
Iowa.
Working Alexander Payne gives
John the leeway he needs
to be a good and cutting edge casting director. John has worked on his
films including: Citizen Ruth, Election, About Schmidt, and
Sideways.
John has also worked in
casting on other great films like: The Host, American Zombie, and
The Objective.
John recently was the
Casting Director on Alexander Payne's award
winning film, The Descendants, taking
place in Hawaii starring big actors like George Clooney, newcomers
like Nick Krause, and other actors that were native in Hawaii.
