This week on Casting Confidential, Rose Rosen is joined by the unstoppable Danielle Pinnock—actor, writer, creator, and viral comedy powerhouse. Best known for her role as Alberta on CBS's Ghosts, Danielle takes us behind the scenes of her multifaceted career, from interning at Cindy Tolan Casting to training at Temple University and the Royal Conservatoire.
With casting director Robin Carus co-hosting, the episode dives into Danielle’s experience as a replacement actor on Ghosts, what it was like hosting the Artios Awards, and how self-tapes and social media changed her career trajectory. She opens up about her passion for body positivity, creating authentic content, and how her viral series Hashtag Booked became a tool for both comedy and advocacy.
Plus, don’t miss our live actor feedback session with Darien Batista—selected from our Instagram raffle—for a real-time performance review by Danielle and our panel.
