Ask a Casting Director: CSA President Richard Hicks on Artios Awards

Richard Hicks is president of the Casting Society of America. Founded 1982 by a group of casting directors in film, television and theater to look out for the interests of the casting community, Hick says it has paid off in dividends: the the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Tonight, the CSA will hold the 2016 Artios Awards, which honors the people whose vision determined the year's most iconic performances.
