Matthew Barry Casting

So proud of guest starring on NBC’s “The Hunting Party”

Just brilliant

RIP Jenn Bowman, who was one of the greatest human beings I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with - always a joy to- always positive - always a smile - she is going to be missed

Congratulations to all of my colleagues on your nomination for the very first Academy Awards for Casting!!!

One of the first films I worked on in casting was “Indecent Proposal” - I was flown to Vegas for the table read with just Redford, Demi, Woody, Director Adrian Lyne and producer Sherry Lansing.

I’ve been around celebrities all my life, but on this day I was star struck.

Following the reading, I was at the bar with Sherry when Adrian came by and said, “Redford doesn’t want to do the movie” - shocked we questioned “why?” To which Adrian replied, “He thinks he’s going to be no good against Woody and Demi”

I smiled and thought to myself “Redford is insecure?!?” - the respect I had for him after that day went up 10 fold.

Sherry wrote about this in her book.

He was a star.

He will be missed

It’s a sad fu***ng day in America - Freedom of Speech is no longer Free
