Always dignified under pressure... Dear God. I had one job. Look classy. I did this instead.
(Let me take this opportunity to tell you that you need to see the incredible "I Like Movies" by Chandler Levack. And the transformative "Brother" by Clement Virgo.)

@bahiawatson Well said. I think we can do better here.

[Jesse Griffiths @thejessegriff]

As part of my commitment to actively engage with Toronto's BIPOC arts community, I'll be holding a zoom audition workshop on August 26th @ 8:00 PM.

A group of actors will be randomly selected from the submissions,… https://t.co/JMEZzUtLYG

[Jesse Griffiths @thejessegriff]

This will include Q&A sessions, audition workshops and panels, but I am open to suggestions for more. I am listening and I am committed.

I know I can do better. This is just the start.
Sincerely,
Jesse Griffiths #BlackLivesMattters #BlackLivesMattertoronto #dobetter

Do Better
I love actors. All actors. That’s why I got into casting in the first place. It’s my job to connect them with those who want to cast them. I’m hired for my opinion, but ultimately, I don’t make the final decisions.

[Jesse Griffiths @thejessegriff]

Every month, I am going to challenge myself to ensure my door is always open and that I’m actively engaging with the immense diversity of Toronto's actors.
