Melissa Pryor is an acting coach, educator, career consultant and former associate casting director (Big Little Lies, Emmy and Artios Awards for Best Casting). Her casting work spans a decade in Los Angeles and Chicago. Some of her casting highlights include Mascots and Family Tree (Christopher Guest), Wild (Jean-Marc Vallée), Rules Don’t Apply (Warren Beatty), Trumbo and All the Way (Jay Roach) and her work as the associate casting consultant for HBO’s scripted content.

Olive
Olive is a dog, an avid birdwatcher, and a lover of bones. She isn't great at office work or coaching and she has no entertainment industry experience, but we keep her around anyway because she's got a lovely personality.
