Before Beyoncé was Beyoncé. Before Jamie Foxx was Jamie Foxx.Before Halle Berry won her Oscar. Someone saw them first. That someone is Robi Reed — and in this episode of NAACP+ Inside the Industry, she finally steps into the spotlight. Host Ariana Drummond sits down with Emmy Award-winning casting director and producer Robi Reed — one of two Black women in history to win an Emmy for casting, a Hampton University alumna, and the woman responsible for some of the most culturally defining films and television in Black Hollywood history. Robi breaks down: → What a casting director actually does — from breakdown to callback to chemistry read → How she started calling herself a casting director at 15 before she ever became one, and why that mindset matters → The night she introduced Spike Lee to Ruth E. Carter and how that one moment changed everything → What it was like to cast School Daze, Malcolm X, Do the Right Thing, Love Jones, Set It Off, Soul Food, The Best Man, For Colored Girls, and all 125 episodes of In Living Color → Why casting is the first act of storytelling — and what happens when Black casting directors aren't in the room → The BET Experience Open Casting Call she created and why she built it → The biggest mistakes talented people make when they finally get in the room → Her audition advice: if it's not going right, just stop and start again — you don't need permission → What she would tell her younger self during every moment of self-doubt → Why you should never want to be the smartest person in the room → The Don King project that almost made her quit — and what stopped her → What she hopes never changes about the role of the casting director This is the episode for every actor, every aspiring creative, and every person who has ever wondered who really decides who gets to be a star. ️ Host: Ariana Drummond, NAACP Director of Talent & Media Relations Guest: Robi Reed — Emmy Award-winning Casting Director New episodes every Wednesday.
