CASTING DIRECTOR
Laura McSwan
Laura has worked in the Film and Television industry for over two decades.
Training at The Guildford School of Acting (GSA) moulded Laura’s formative years. Followed by a number of years working in both theatre (The Royal Court) and television production (Sky/MTV/Carlton) solidified a genuine desire to utilise this invaluable experience to help leave her mark through the encouragement and success of others…and so began her casting career!
Working as part of the formidable BBC casting department on many of the BBC’s most beloved continuing drama series alongside a smorgasbord of industry Executives, Producers and Directors, it was during these eighteen years that Laura is proud to have cast some of the most exciting emerging and well-known talent we are still lucky enough to see on our screens and in our theatres today.
Having taken a hiatus for couple of years to explore the world a little, Laura is now excited to be back in the industry she adores, in a role she has always cherished and is eager to explore other casting avenues in this ever evolving business we love!
