Rory Okey is a Casting Associate who is currently working with Dan Hubbard Casting. Rory Okey has worked in casting in various forms since 2013. He started as a studio assistant then studio manager at a casting studio called Nash Studio and was lucky enough to work on some incredible feature films, tv shows and commercials that initially ignited his desire to work in casting.
After 2 and a half years he moved to Spotlight. He used his time there to meet other casting directors and to use Spotlight's resources to learn as much as he could about the industry and actors. He left Spotlight after a year and went straight into casting offices working in commercials, tv and film and hasn't really stopped since.
He has worked with casting directors including Andy Morgan, Suzanne Smith, Lauren Evans and Reg Poerscout Edgerton. His credits include Luther (BBC), Good Omens (BBC/AMAZON), Rocketman (PARAMOUNT/MARV FILMS), Men In Black: International (SONY), The Dark Crystal (NETFLIX) and Guy Ritchie’s next film Cash Truck (MIRAMAX).
