Interview with Ajay Rochester of Cast Me!

Dr. Lisa Masterson sat down with Casting Agent Ajay Rochester to discuss her new show Cast ME! premiering on Tuesday, Sept. 27 at 8/7 on myxtv.com.

CAST ME is 30-minute mash up of humor, drama and desperation set against the sizzling backdrop of Hollywood, California where thousands of auditioning actors compete for a tiny handful of coveted roles. Whether it’s the lead in a TV commercial or supporting part in a Movie, in every episode we see the creative thinking of DK Casting’s owner David Kang, his ferociously honest casting Director Becky Wu, his hilarious Aussie import Ajay Rochester and the former child star Germán Legarreta – as they run castings for two very different clients and roles. Hopes and dreams on are the line as actors are put to the test. Brutal honesty is dished out like turkey stuffing to the aspiring hopefuls while the clock ticks and the clients throw last-minute casting curveballs. Some careers are catapulted, while others are cast out… on CAST ME.
