- Professions: Casting Director, Casting Department, Director
Julie Harkin’s name keeps popping up in the credits of some seriously buzzy shows and projects. You might’ve caught her work in “I May Destroy You,” which, honestly, is one of those series that just grabs you by the collar and refuses to let go. Raw, unfiltered, and totally original, it dives into the messiness of modern life, trauma, and the wild ride of trying to piece everything together when your world gets flipped upside down. The way the characters talk, the way the story unfolds—it’s like you’re living right there with them, not just watching from the couch. Then there’s “Industry.” Wildly different vibe, but just as addictive. It’s got this electric energy, all about the cutthroat world of high finance in London. Everyone’s scrambling for power, validation, or maybe just a scrap of dignity. There’s a kind of dark humor running through it, and you can tell the casting is spot-on—no cardboard cutouts, just real, flawed humans making brutal choices. It’s stressful to watch, in the best way. And now, “Dune: Prophecy” is on the horizon. If you’re into epic sci-fi with a heavy dash of drama, this is one to keep an eye on. The anticipation around it is wild, and knowing Julie Harkin’s involved just cranks up the hype. She’s got this knack for finding the perfect faces for the most complicated roles, so you know the cast is gonna be next-level. Basically, her track record? It speaks for itself.
C.D.G. stands for The Casting Directors Guild, which covers both Great Britain and Ireland. Think of it as the go-to club for casting folks who decide which actors end up on your screen, whether it’s for movies, TV, or even stage stuff. Being a member isn’t just some fancy line on your resume—it means you’ve got legit experience and peers vouch for you. These are the people connecting actors with the right roles and making sure the whole casting process is fair and professional. The Guild also sets standards, so if you’re working with someone in the C.D.G., odds are they know their stuff inside out. Plus, they get access to networking events, workshops, and a bit of insider knowledge that keeps them ahead of the game. Basically, if you spot C.D.G. after someone’s name, you know they’re a serious casting pro, not just somebody who sent out a few Facebook calls for extras.
