While actors and actresses often get all of the spotlight when it comes to film portrayals, it's the casting directors and filmmakers that really have all the power in Hollywood. These are the individuals that know how to truly create magic on the silver screen and making these difficult choices can mean the difference between a hit film and a major flop.
