My Work Printer friendly CV

With more than 20 years experience as a casting director, Tom founded Thomas Adams Casting in 2015. Working closely with directors, producers and clients, he brings a strong instinct for the right person to a role, whether an established actor or an unknown talent.

He is passionate about encouraging diversity on screen and experienced at finding and nurturing new faces from all sides of the social spectrum. Sometimes this means exploring communities and street casting potential talent in the unlikeliest places, or working with trusted agents to cast in the traditional method.

Tom’s long-standing relationships with agents provides an extended network of talent of all kinds, including actors, models, presenters, dancers, brand ambassadors, voice over artists and children.

Combining expert industry knowledge and a collaborative approach, Tom and his team work to understand the unique alchemy of each project: not just the script but the complexities of budget, location, timing and other restrictions in a constantly changing world.
