Brandon Rodriguez

Casting director Brandon Henry Rodriguez began his journey as an actor on the east coast. Shortly after booking the lead role in the CBS Movie of the Week, “Vampire Bats,” he landed a recurring spot on the NBC series, “Surface.” Brandon’s success on the east coast prompted his pilgrimage to Los Angeles, where he continued to book spots on television, features, and national commercials.

Along the way, he uncovered an intuitive understanding of the actor’s psyche, a keen business acumen, and a distinct artistic perspective, prompting him to parlay his experience into the casting world. Since he made the transition into casting, Brandon has worked as an associate for FOX Digital Studios (“Shotgun Wedding”) MTV (“Awkward”), The CW (“The 100”), Legendary Entertainment (“The Thinning”), SpectreVision (“The Greasy Strangler”  “Bitch”), and several network pilots.

In 2015, he earned his first casting director credit for the independent feature “Day Six.” He quickly established himself in the independent features world, and has continued to accumulate credits on fully-financed independent movies. His casting director credits include “Dog Years,” written and directed by Adam Rifkin, “Desolate,” produced by Jordan Foley, and “Virtual High” (Disney), among others. He is currently casting the feature “The Other Place,” directed by Eric Bress, while concurrently working as an associate on “The 100” (CW) at Aufiero/Horn Casting.

As a casting director, Brandon is an advocate for actors—his passion for actors and their craft is evidenced by both his approach in the room and the material with which he chooses to align himself. Drawing on his early experiences as an actor, he takes great care to create a safe, creative, and collaborative environment for actors. Ultimately, he is committed to cultivating a mutual quest for verisimilitude.
