Interview with Casting Director Sheila Jaffee
January 5, 2009 by Lance Carter
Q. So your input really influences the director.
A. Absolutely. I get an idea of the director’s sensibilities. I research his films and what type of person he likes to work with. The director and actor have to get along on so many levels. And here’s a little thing actors should be aware of: I might be bringing in a 30-year-old character, and you may not think you’re right for that, but you also don’t know what’s happening in my talks with the director. Maybe there’s another role. Actors should always go ahead with an audition.

I went to Bleeker Junior High #185, in Whitestone, NY with a Sheila Jaffe, and was wondering if it was the same Sheila.
If so, please email me, I’d be soo happy for you!

Hi Kathy,
I’m not sure – but hopefully she’ll see this

Hey Sheel – last time I saw you was when we lost each other at some party you took me to many, many ( many ), years ago when I stayed over at your apartment. If I say, it wouldn’t be good for either of us. Actually, I don’t think I ever found my way back to your apartment.
Hope you’re well my sweetie…seems like life has been good for you. It may seem odd, but I’ve been thinking of you often recently.
