Many new actors have misconceptions about how the casting process works.
To alleviate some of this confusion, here is a hypothetical example of how a guest-starring role on an imaginary daytime drama may be cast. The producers call the Casting Director that they have used for years and describe the character of Lisa. The CD already has in mind a few actors she has seen before for the role, but submits a description to Breakdown Services , a company that serves as a link between CDs and agents. He selects several photos and sends them to the Casting Director.
