Christy Faison
CASTING & COACHING
About Christy
My mission: to help actors trust themselves, take risks, and bring something to the work no one else can.
​​
I began my casting career over two decades ago in the Talent & Casting department at FOX. Since then, I’ve worked closely with respected casting directors like Jeanie Bacharach, Gillian O’Neill, and Lauren Grey. In 2011, I partnered with Casting Director Risa Bramon Garcia to cast numerous pilots and series for networks including CBS, NBC, and Showtime.
​
That experience paved the way for me to launch Christy Faison Casting—leading projects for HBO, AMC, MGM, and indie films that screened at top festivals.
​
My casting credits include:
-
The Newsroom (HBO)
-
The Affair (Showtime)
-
SEAL Team (CBS)
-
Ash vs Evil Dead (Starz)
-
Knight of Cups (Terrence Malick)
-
The Walking Dead: Red Machete (AMC, Emmy-nominated)
-
Conversations in LA (Emmy-nominated)
-
Stargate Origins (MGM)
…plus over a dozen indie features.
​
I've taught in LA, New York, Atlanta, New Zealand, and as an adjunct professor at the University of Texas. I also co-founded The Village Acting Studio in LA with Jami Rudofsky, which became a trusted space for actors to train and grow.​
​​
In 2024, I moved to Atlanta to be closer to family. It was a personal shift but not a professional pause.​ I’m still casting, still coaching, and still helping actors do the kind of work that gets noticed.
