Expert Feature: Everything you want to know about casting

It's time for our expert feature.. where we invite an expert in their field to join us and answer all your questions. Today we're talking about the world of casting - it's one of those things you probably only notice when it goes wrong... when an actor doesn't quite fit the character... feels uncomfortable in the role, or there's just no chemistry on screen. Bad casting can really take you out of a story ... and even ruin an otherwise great film .. conversely there is nothing better than great casting .. an actor who brings a role to life flawlessly. Liz Mullane is a casting director from Wellington. She's responsible for casting some of the biggest films to come out of New Zealand, including 'Heavenly Creatures' which launched Kate Winslet and Melanie Lynskey's careers. Liz chats to Susana.
