When you get a project like “Fargo” what is your casting process? Jackie: On a show like FARGO Location casting works very closely with LA casting to make sure we understand the creative vision. The accent and look certainly played a huge factor as well. Weeks of pre-screens were necessary to search for that perfect combo. Once the pre-screens were uploaded they were sent to LA casting and the EP's for feedback, Call backs were set up in Calgary for the Director and EP's. Vancouver and Toronto actors were chosen from taped auditions we did in both cities; all selects were then sent to the network and studio for final approval. How did you get into casting? Jackie: My daughter started acting when she was 9 and because of her I entered into the business. Is casting a series of TV movies like the “Flowers in the Attic” series harder or easier than casting a stand-alone film? Jackie: A series of Movies are always more challenging as we have to deal with continuity and matching families. What are the benefits of casting out of Vancouver? Jackie: I cast both “Hell on Wheels” and “Fargo” out of Calgary and I cast many actors out of Vancouver. Vancouver has some of the best actors on the planet. The fast flight is also helpful to production. Vancouver has a large pool to draw from. What is one of your favorite casting experiences? Jackie: I cast an actor in a small acting role in an MOW. The EP's son also a well-known EP watched his Dad's MOW, saw this actor and offered him a big role in a Huge Feature in LA....just goes to show you.....you never know where it can go. What one piece of advice would you give an actor coming in to audition for you? Jackie: Be yourself, be confident, know your lines and remember "nobody can be you, better than you."
