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.
