I always enjoy getting reference calls for Andy, they always start with the same two words “book him!”. A brilliant editorial vision for fantastic contributors, a team leader who gets the best from his team, forever hitting deadlines and targets set. Unflappable. Clear and concise updates on his process. But don’t take my word for it, simply watch the contestants/punters on any show Andy has cast and enjoy the results.
I am an Executive Producer for BBC Studios. Andy came as a Casting Producer to work with us on a recent daytime quiz named The Answer Run. Typically with any daytime quiz project budgets and timelines were very tight. However Andy's dedication, hard work, attention to detail were absolutely en pointe and were a huge part of making the show a success. Andy is always good natured in the face of often difficult circumstances. He's a great manager of a team as he's able to delegate when appropriate and passes on his knowledge to younger members. I wouldn't hesitate to employ Andy again or recommend him to others.
Andy is an outstanding Casting AP who we have worked with on a number of productions now. He has an excellent eye for the perfect contributor and knows exactly what is needed to get the best out of them. Andy is used to running teams as well as casting solo. He has set the casting on shows up from scratch from targeting stage right through to studio on a variety of genres. He is highly organised, extremely efficient and a pleasure to work with. A real asset to any team.
Andy is a fantastic Casting AP who has a great ear and eye for spotting amazing contributors and fostering key relations with them. We worked together closely to cast over 110 contestants across 30 shows. I was thoroughly impressed at how diligent and self-sufficient he was. He has a brilliant can-do attitude, is incredibly organised and extremely focused. Punters love him and he is pleasure to work with. Andy will make an invaluable addition to any team. I would highly recommend him and look forward to working together again very soon indeed.
Andy is incredibly hard working and one of the industries do-er's. He was always positive and keen to get involved with all aspects of the production. He remained calm under pressure and was consistently brilliant with our contributors. A joy to have on the team.
Andy was involved in all aspects of producing shows for 2 series for MTV Live HD. This included - writing scripts, producing talent, edit producing, show delivery and dealing with Music Programming and Operational departments at MTV for a large number of Post Produced Link and Clip programming. He also directed talent for these shows. We ask a lot of our team with both Researchers and AP's stepping up to become mini-producers, and Andy excelled; always diligent, always organised, always engaged in trying to make quality content for MTV's core demographic of 16 - 34 year old music-lovers.
