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.
