(l-r): Actors Mark Johnson and Mike Gaudioso during a production meeting at PhillyCAM for the movie 'Abyss: The Greatest Proposal Ever."Do men make the best doctors?
Prompted by my casting choices for the narrative drama film "Abyss: The Greatest Proposal Ever," this question highligted many of the generalizations we often make about our fellow man (or woman); and is among the many topics discussed during my recent guest appearance on The Cameron Avant Podcast.
Before moving from Philadelphia to Texas for six months, show host Cameron Avant invited me to deliver the scoop on inappropriate casting call responses and what it was like to improvise dialogue with actors while filming in Philly. In between reminiscing about meeting a cast member from the CBS Primetime Cop Drama "Blue Bloods" and sharing our disappointment with self-absorbed parents who are failing the educational system, we also addressed the possibility that my days of making movies are numbered.
Want to know how gender stereotypes influenced the way I selected my cast members? Curious about whether or not I'm giving up movies to work in Television sitcoms? Grab some popcorn and hit the "play" button to find out!

It's cool that an impromptu curse turned into a great alternate take on a scene. A great podcast Nicole!
Maurice,
Alternate takes make for some interesting options indeed. The good thing about it all is being able to salvage an entire scene, if needed. I'm glad you enjoyed the podcast and thanks so much for checking this out :)
