Meet Cara
Oh, hey! You might remember me from such episodics as Law & Order, The Sopranos, 7th Heaven, and The X-Files. Just kidding! No-one remembers me for my acting career, but it's important to know that I got my start in this crazy industry that I love in front of the camera. It's what makes me an exceptional casting director. I know how to get the very best out of on-camera talent, especially non-actors.
I'll be straight with you - I'm a native New Yorker, but LA is my home now. I'm extremely hard working (maybe a bit of a perfectionist?), a team player, and a straight-shooter. If things are going to be a challenge - I'm going to tell it to you straight. And then we'll figure it out together.
Production and casting are a crazy, amazing, exhausting, hilarious, frustrating, weird, and wonderful union - but we love it and wouldn't have it any other way. I'm here to support you and I'm as passionate about your project as you are.

What Our Clients Say...
Jason Stuckey
Executive Producer
Techstyle Inc.
Finding great customers who could carry the message of our brands was a major pain point that we struggled with for a long time. In a matter of days, Cara and her team covered more ground than we had in years, finding over 200 amazing customers that we never knew existed. The spots she casted are some of our most successful campaigns to date and we couldn't imagine doing any sort of testimonials campaign without her.

What People We've Cast Say...
Rodney Matthews, The Bachelorette
"When I first saw a message from Cara. I thought it was a joke. I definitely didn’t think it could be real and I was ready to ignore it completely. Her persistence and effort is what made me start to believe and give it a chance thinking maybe I should respond and see what happens. We had one FaceTime interview at 3:15pm and I’ll never forget it. That one call changed my life. Cara was so personable and down to earth and I instantly felt comfortable to be myself. She saw something in me and I’m so glad she did because then I was able to showcase who I was on the bachelorette and my life hasn’t been the same since. I’m so grateful for Cara and giving me a chance to be myself. I definitely owe all my current and future success to Cara! Thank you so much Cara!! 🙌🏽🙏🏽 "
Sherry Leetham,
Netflix Real Fans Commercial
"The team worked around my travel schedule and even through setup hiccups it was one of the funniest things I’ve had the pleasure of doing! I was traveling for Memorial Weekend driving from Texas to Tennessee and they allowed me the opportunity to still participate even under last minute location challenges. I will definitely work with the Cara Casting again. HANDS DOWN"
Vanessa Valente, Temptation Island & Family or Fiance
I can’t thank Cara and her team enough for the opportunities they’ve opened up for me! Through Cara’s casting, I’ve been cast on two incredible shows, and each experience has exceeded my expectations. The entire process was seamless and professional, from the initial reach-out to filming. Cara’s keen eye for talent and dedication to matching people with the right roles really makes her stand out in the industry. If you’re looking for someone who truly believes in you and supports your career journey, Cara is the one. Highly recommend her!

Cara Casting gave me the opportunity to film a segment for a campaign involving Korean dramas and being Korean myself it was a very fulfilling opportunity. From the casting to filming, Cara Casting’s process was reliable and supportive.
