Top casting directors merge
Two of Australia’s top casting directors have merged with offices in Sydney, Melbourne and the Gold Coast.
Tom McSweeney and David Newman apart have cast Australian, US and UK productions such as Ghostship, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader and Scooby Doo, Red Dog and The Pacific.
The new merged company will be called McSweeney Newman Casting.
McSweeney is a member of the Casting Society of America and sat on the board of directors for 20 years prior to his move to Australia.
“From our perspective, it’s the sense of freedom, daring and commitment to the craft while maintaining their sense of humour, affability and cheeky larrikin charm which explains why the international market is responding in the way they have.”
