That was the assessment put forward by the agents, casting directors and industry experts talking about casting in the 21st century during TheWrap’s annual media and technology conference TheGrill.
Jason Newman, a manager and producer at Untitled Entertainment, said not everyone considers social media during the casting process. But, he says, it’s increasingly important and can make the difference in choosing between two actors.
