Atlanta is known as the Hollywood of the South, and City Lights is honored to highlight some of the many local professionals that help keep our city’s film and TV industry thriving. Today we feature film and TV multi-hyphenate casting director Erica Arvold.

“I got started and was interested in the film and television industry from a very early age,” Arvold says. “I had a wonderful habit of sneaking to my friend’s house watching television or going to the movies… and would keep a secret notebook of actors that I thought were amazing when I was 12 years old…”

Arvold thought that was a strange habit at the time and didn’t know it could lead to a career in the industry, but that was the start of a snowball effect that led to a multi-hyphenate career.
