"It's not who fits where — it's what is the world we're making." BAFTA award-winning casting director Nikki Barrett joins the show to talk about what makes a great actor, casting as world-building rather than list-filling: the difference between naturalism and truth on screen, why she's drawn to anthropological projects and non-actors, and how the best actors find the "safety to take risks.” 


This is Part 1 of our conversation with Nikki Barrett. Part 2 will be released next week.
