‘West Side Story’ Casting Director Reflects on 18-Month-Long Search to Find ‘Quadruple Threats’ for Authentic Cast

Bob Verini “Steven had said that he wasn’t going to make the film if he couldn’t cast it correctly.”Thus, explains casting director Cindy Tolan, assembling the perfect ensemble was of existential importance to Spielberg’s revisited “West Side Story.” The goal was to capture all the charisma of the beloved 1961 original, while avoiding its much-criticized, inauthentic approach to ethnicity.“I looked to my office and I said, ‘We are not going to be the reason this film does not get made.’” An early, viral social media posting kicked off an 18-month worldwide search, involving open calls and appointments from the U.S. to Puerto Rico and Australia.All told, she claims, “we saw 30,000 humans,” and in no sense did any have to be professionals or even trained.

But the parts these actors inhabited were written specifically for a Black or, in Yuen’s case, a Korean actor.It was only last year when Riz Amed, the British son of Pakistani immigrants, was nominated of “Sound of Metal,” that the Oscars hinted at a newer trend in diversity in casting.“Hollywood is finally catching up and we’re able to represent the world as it really is,” says “West Side Story” casting director Cindy Tolan, adding that studios are “following the dollar.”“If you’re more reflective of life and of the audience, then more people will be interested in your movie or TV show,” says “Macbeth” casting director Ellen Chenoweth.
