This week, the crew kicks things off by talking about the iconic yearly William Mattar commercials—a Buffalo pop culture staple—and the honor Casting Buffalo has had in being part of them. From there, we dive into the importance of networking events for both cast and crew, and why the upcoming Casting Buffalo Actors Expo on Saturday, August 23rd is a must-attend for filmmakers and talent looking to grow their careers.
We’re joined in-studio by our first official female guest, Roselyn Kasmire—a local SAG actress who just landed a role in Michael Mailer’s Little Audrey after auditioning for a completely different part. We discuss the power of bold choices, the value of restraint, and how delivering one undeniable performance can leave a lasting impression that gets you cast—even if it’s not for the role you originally went for.
Finally, we break down the official 2025 Expo schedule, highlighting guest speakers Tom Fontana and Charlene Amoia, and exploring the can’t-miss workshops from Film Neighbor Network. From scoring fresh headshots to gaining production skills in the PA training course, this episode is your roadmap to making the most of this year’s Expo. We can’t wait to see you there!
