Erica has a deep knowledge of the casting business. Not only is she enormously helpful in finding great talent, but great at targeting talent to fill the needs of a creative concept. One of her biggest attributes is her knowledge of the SAG rules governing most of our business. I adore her and adore working with her on my projects. Erica is truly a great casting director. She not only listens carefully but also executes quickly and efficiently. She is a great support to a production team. She’s passionate and loves what she does.

I’ve known Erica Palgon for a number of years, and she is terrific. She is wonderful in casting sessions with talent, managing to bring out exactly what I’m looking for in the actors so I can get a really good sense of who to bring back. She’s hit the streets for me a number of times and found “real people” (non-actors) who did an amazing job and, in some cases, have gone on to be in other commercials and film projects. And recently she has run virtual callback sessions for me from NYC which were super successful for me, the agency and the project. She works crazy hard, is an asset and also is funny, which is important for those loooong sessions that seem to go on for days. She’s never let me down and I will keep using her as long as she keeps doing what she does!
