Sara Kay

Hello, and welcome to another new episode of In the Envelope: The Actors Podcast, where the biggest names in film, television, and theater offer acting lessons and behind-the-scenes insights you won't find anywhere else.

I'm your host, Backstage senior editor Vinnie Mancuso, and joining me today are two casting directors behind the breakout story of the past few years, Jenny Lewis and Sara Kay of Lewis Kay Casting.

What I am referring to is Jenny and Sarah, of course, cast Heated Rivalry, the romance book adaptation that introduced a large [laughs] portion of its audience to its two main stars, Connor Story and Hudson Williams.

We, of course, also dug into the upcoming season two and the casting of their two new romantic leads, Justice Smith and Charlie Gillespie.

This is just a great behind-the-curtain chat with two people who know how to spot breakout stars and know what an audience wants and how actors can give it to them.

Let's get right into it.

Here is casting directors Jenny Lewis and Sara Kay.

[upbeat music] Sarah and Jenny, how are you doing?
