Lisa London tells how it’s done!
Casting Director Lisa London joins Bob & Suzanne and delivers a message every actor needs to hear!
Lisa is the daughter of Jerry London, one of Hollywood’s legendary television directors. She grew up on her dad’s sets surrounded by major Hollywood stars. It was there that she found her show business inspiration.
In her teens, Lisa realized she had a unique instinct for spotting talent. After years of “paying dues” and working her way up, she’s now a respected resource for studios, directors, and producers who are looking for the “special someone.”

After more than two decades casting for major studios like Sony Pictures, 20th Century Fox, Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison Productions, as well as for every major broadcast network, London-Stroud has been consistently responsible for discovering young acting talent and putting them on the road to stardom. It was Lisa’s keen eye for talent that tapped Myley Cyrus for her showbiz debut as Hanna Montana, cast Jennifer Aniston in her first feature film, and brought superstars like Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Jonah Hill, and Selena Gomez to the public’s attention.
