Jason Lockhart looks every bit the part of the hip Hollywood agent. Tattooed, in a stylish suit, fast talking and confident from his years of experience and success in the industry, you can tell right away this is a guy who gets things done – and any actor would be lucky to have him in their corner. Except Mr. Lockhart is not a Hollywood agent, he is based in Atlanta, heading the TV/Film division of Atlanta Models & Talent, Inc. (AM&T). And get things done he does, with his clients booking Stranger Things, The Walking Dead, among many other prestigious projects. Not content to simply be successful, he wants to give back, releasing a book

– January Curry Of Atlanta’s Extras Casting Office, Destination Casting Talks First Impressions And Background Acting – You’re Not Just A Number On A Set Of Skins
From background actor to extras casting director, January Curry is the Atlanta powerhouse behind her own company, Destination Casting.

Casting for networks like SYFY, BET, and Lifetime, January and her team specialize in background talent but don’t be intimidated by those big network names. Destination Casting is as resolute in delivering quality talent to any size production as it is determined to remain boutique and personable.
I spoke to January Curry to understand why you should “fire-start” your career in Atlanta and how having the right conversations with the right people can be a significant step towards becoming a successful working actor.
