Question: Can the producer of a movie select the cast (actors/actresses)!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Of course!. Most often the producer along with the director hire the stars and main supporting actors without auditions!. They need them on board to raise the money for the production!. Or to ensure good ticket sales!. Only the smaller roles are up for audition!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Producer can definitely make his preferences known, and if the actor/actress is willing, casting particular leads is often what greenlights or stalls the project!. The Casting Director usually handles casting for smaller parts, but if a Producer wanted his nephew to appear in the film, for example, he would be likely to get his wish, even though it's not really his job to choose the cast!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

the director can only select the actors n actresses!. rarely the producer selects them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
