  • Guest Episode: Casting Director Harley Kaplan
    Dec 15 2025

    Misha and Brett Epstein sit down with veteran casting director Harley Kaplan, whose credits include Sex and the City, dozens of feature films, and Misha’s own digital series All Hail Beth. Kaplan shares that his casting process is guided by intuition and an actor's "energy" or "aura," noting that a compelling essence often outweighs rigid adherence to character breakdowns. He offers blunt, actionable advice for actors: be confident, make bold choices, and never apologize in the room. This heart-warming episodes reminds us that all of us who are working in entertainment, including casting directors, are human, and that we should never take rejection personally.
