Elizabeth Barnes (“The Sex Lives of College Girls,” “The Decameron”) and Tannis Vallely (“Murderville,” “Siren”) are the show’s current casting directors. In an interview with us, Barnes emphasized that one “not-amazing” audition doesn’t define an actor’s future; she often brings people back for roles that are a better fit later on. For her, one of the best parts of the job is watching actors grow, gain confidence, and find the roles that suit them best.
