Todd Feldman, Sr. Casting Director - IMDB
After graduating from college, Todd set his sights on working in the entertainment industry. He moved to Los Angeles to climb the ladder at Creative Artists Agency, worked his way through the mailroom, and landed in their motion picture literary department. After spending four years in LA, he was drawn back to his roots in NYC, ultimately starting his career in casting. Todd went on to work on such projects as The Sopranos, How To Make it In America, and The Wrestler among many others before he founded Roman Candle Casting in 2009. During this time, Todd also opened the restaurant Speedy Romeo where you can still find him eating pizza on occasion!
