Casting director Rori Bergman (“The Americans”) teamed up with associate casting director Karlee Fomalont (“A Complete Unknown”) for “The Last Frontier.”
In an interview with us about acting advice, Bergman shared the importance of taking time to “do your homework” and learn as much as possible about the project before stepping into the audition room. “When you’re going in for a project and you have the opportunity to take a look at the filmmakers’ previous film, or read something from that writer, or look at the body of work from the lead actor of the show, it gives you a leg up in terms of being able to walk into that room and feel like you know where your performance needs to live as a jumping-off place,” Bergman said. “Then, [you’re] able to work with the casting director in the room to hone that more specifically.”
Filming for “The Last Frontier” took place entirely on location in Canada, including in Montreal and remote regions throughout Quebec.
