After working as a stand-in for Jason Bateman on the set of the feature film "The Kingdom", John Paul was called back to play an FBI agent. While on the set, director Peter Berg spotted John and the next thing he knew he had a small speaking part opposite Jamie Foxx! When John signed on with MovieWork Now Casting without industry experience or training, he was expecting to get mostly extra work. John says, "I never imagined I would land a small speaking part in a Universal Pictures feature film!" "This happens all the time with our talent," says Patrice Farner from MovieWork Now Casting who was excited for John's featured role.

    John Paul Castorena Interview  


 Q: How long have you been interested in acting?
 A: 

Growing up in California I have been interested in acting most of my life. I was always too busy because of work to pursue it in California but now that I am in Arizona I have more time.
 Q: How long have you been with MovieWork Now Casting?
 A: 

I have been with MovieWork Now Casting for one year now.
 Q: What was the auditioning process for the part?
 A: 

I happened to be sitting in the back row on the set and the Director, Peter Berg, needed more interaction between the movie stars and the extras. Peter turned around, looked at me, said, "They needed a Tech Specialist FBI agent", and asked me to respond when Jamie Foxx directs questions to me.
 Q: Did you have any experience or training prior to getting the part?
 A: 

No, but I have been practicing and I am in the process of looking for a class (workshop) that will help me improve on my acting skills.
