Lori S. Wyman, M.S., C.S.A., is dedicated to helping actors pursue their passions so they can live their dreams. If you've ever had the pleasure of being cast by her, taken one of her workshops, or read her book The Organic Actor, you know how true this is. But there's so much more to glean from her 40 years in the South Florida casting industry.
In this episode, listen in as Thomas and Lori discuss some of the biggest shows and movies she's cast—from her first job on Miami Vice in the 1980s to Bad Monkey for Apple TV in 2023—and what she seeks in an authentic, organic actor.
About Lori: Casting in South Florida since 1979, Lori has been the talent seeker behind mega-hits like the Dexter series, Bloodline, The Glades, Burn Notice, Iron Man 3, and many more. Over her career, she has earned eight Artios Award nominations, winning two for the acclaimed HBO movie Recount and the Netflix series Bloodline, as well as an Emmy nomination. Lori also completed a Master’s Degree with a concentration in Drama Therapy, and she's proud to put her clinical training to work with actors, helping them overcome one of the biggest obstacles in an actor’s career: audition anxiety. Through her work, she aims to help actors become more grounded, focused, and ultimately, more organic performers.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
