JOHN MILDREN

casting associate

John is a native of Adelaide where he completed a double major in Film and Television Production and Scriptwriting for Film and Television at the University of Adelaide. John graduated in 1987 with a B.A. in Communications.


In 1993 John was accepted into the full-time acting program at NIDA and moved to Sydney.
In 1996 he co-founded RE:ACTOR, which shifted location from Randwick to Fox Studios in 1999. At RE:ACTOR, John was Director of the School and Principal Tutor for Screen-testing Technique and Agent Showcases for eight years. It was there he met Leon Fryer and together they immediately adapted the business to embrace digital video technology as it emerged throughout the 90's.
In 2002, in partnership with Leon, The Audition Room at Fox Studios was opened, which specializes in studio hire and online casting services.

 

 

LEON FRYER

casting associate

Leon obtained a marketing degree at the University of Canberra before he joined John Mildren at RE:ACTOR Acting Services in 1997, thus a partnership was born. There is nothing that Leon can't do and we can always rely on him to pull in the sails and keep this ship afloat. Leon's pragmatic style helps keep everything in perspective. His main specialty is being a smart ass.

 

 

BECK CARRIG

casting assistant

As The Audition Room's latest addition, Beck is the glue that holds the whole operation together. Her attention to detail, 'can do' attitude and wonderful sense of humour make her an invaluable part of our team. We don't know what we ever did without her! Beck is a budding casting director and definitely one to watch.

 

 

 

With Kari and Alicia's North American sensibility and Johnny and Leon's tech wisdom, the KHC team is a hybrid of talent that makes for exciting creative collaboration.

 

 

We are confident that when working, playing and engaging with any team member, it will be a positive and happy experience for you.
