We are delighted to welcome back Casting Director Gordon Cowell to TAG!!

For this in-person casting workshop, Gordon will send out an allocated scene several days before the workshop for you to prepare as you would for any TV casting. We will send your Spotlight CV to Gordon so that he can tailor the scene to suit you. On the day Gordon will read with you and you will do an initial take, after which he will discuss the scene and role with you and provide some direction for a second take. 

Once everyone has read their scenes, Gordon will give some general feedback and tips regarding Spotlight CVs, headshots and showreels. There will also be the opportunity for a Q&A which can be questions arising from the self-taping process or regarding Gordon’s experiences of the casting process. 

Gordon has worked in casting for thirteen years collaborating on projects spanning TV, film, theatre and musical theatre. He launched Cowell Casting Ltd in 2021 alongside Casting Associate Amy Craig.

Screen casting director credits include: UK Casting for Season 4 of Sony/Apple TV series "For All Mankind" and TV movies "Sense and Sensibility", "Savouring Paris" and "The Wedding Veil Journey" for the Hallmark Channel. In 2022 Gordon cast the London Coliseum production of Bartlett Sher's Broadway transfer of "My Fair Lady" and co-cast Disney's "Frozen the Musical" at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane with James Orange.

Gordon spent five years as associate to TV and film casting director Kate Rhodes James CDG CSA, with credits including Season 1 of "House of the Dragon", Ridley Scott's feature "The Last Duel"; "Bodyguard" and three seasons of "Line of Duty".
