The Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute has brought in veteran TV casting executive as Head of Talent, a newly created position focused on transitioning the Institute’s students to becoming professional actors in film and TV.<\/p>\n

Theodoratos spent the last 20 years at the CW and its predecessor UPN, most recently as EVP of Talent & Casting, overseeing casting for the CW. She was part of the mass layoffs last fall following the CW’s acquisition by Nexstar and its pivot away from original scripted series developed in-house. <\/p>\n

In her new role, Theodoratos will produce an annual talent showcase — a staple of college acting programs to present their talent to agents, managers, casting directors and executives — and will oversees the development of a casting database of the Institute’s top talent to put forth to the casting community. Theodoratos will also spearhead an industry-wide professional guest speaker series focused on actors and casting for the Institute, which has branches in West Hollywood, CA and New York, NY. <\/p>\n

During her CW tenure, Theodoratos supervised the casting of series such as Riverdale, All American, All American, The Flash, Supergirl, The 100<\/em> and Jane the Virgin<\/em> and co-supervised casting on Gossip Girl, The Vampire Diaries <\/em>and Nikita.<\/em><\/p>\n

From 2002 to 2006, Theodoratos served as VP, Talent & Casting at UPN where she had a hand in discovering breakout talent such as Kristen Bell, star of Veronica Mars,<\/em> and Kevin Hill’<\/em>s Christina Hendricks. From 1999 to 2002, Theodoratos was the Manager of Casting at Michael Ovitz’s ATG<\/p>\n

“I’ve spent the better part of my career championing emerging talent, which is what I love to do most, and am so excited to get to work with [Artistic Director] David [Lee Strasberg] and all of the incredible new talent coming out of the prestigious Strasberg Institute,” said Theodoratos.<\/p>\n
