About Us

Made By Actors, for Actors

Creative industries are wrought with subjective opinions. With a deep commitment to providing a path to self discovery for every actor, and through data science, Castability has established a workflow that provides objective data giving creatives an ability to assess on many levels and make smart decisions to move careers forward. 

 

Welcome to our community.

Our Story

Over seven years, Castability was incubated from Jay Boyer's living room in LA to the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, collaborating with actors and casting directors at every step to test theories and build the system. 

 

"What we learned was that casting directors want to help actors. They don't want the mystery anymore than you do, so we figured out a way to align the incentives on both sides. Additionally, the increased responsibility in all industries to achieve real diversity, inclusion, and equity made us recognize that our app could not only bring greater opportunity to communities of color, but could also expose bias with data created by app users." 

​

Our Promise

​

It’s not enough for the entertainment industry to speak against racism, misogyny, or discrimination based on disabilities. It is time to take specific action to level the playing field.

​

Commitment to Diversity 

 

Castability was built to give every actor everywhere a path to discover their potential. This mission means:

​​

  1. Our Casting Curators commit to evaluating actors based only on the constraints of the posted character description. If the role doesn’t require a certain race, gender or a particular physical ability, then the Casting Curator must not consider those limitations when evaluating.

  2. In order to honor the diverse voices in our community, we use scenes from a diverse pool of writers.

  3. We use our data analytics of casting habits to help expose hidden biases within our system and in the behavior of both our actors and casting professionals, and we share this data to the casting and acting communities to help improve the current system.

  4. We use our networks of casting professionals, agents and managers to help promote actors of diversity by including search options in our database that promote diverse options.

  5. We are committed to diversity in our staff.

  6. We are held accountable by a Committee of Diversity and Integrity that represents voices from a cross section of our community.

  7. We hold regular feedback sessions to give actors a platform to express concerns and suggest improvements to our system.
