Kelly Valentine Hendry, the casting director behind the popular Netflix show Bridgerton, has revealed that she often receives NSFW (not suitable for work) content from hopeful actors looking to join the cast. In an interview on the Should I Delete That? podcast, Hendry opened up about the challenges she faces when it comes to casting big shows like Bridgerton, where she is responsible for finding talented actors to bring the show's characters to ⁘⁘⁘. Hendry explained that she welcomes people of all experience levels to audition for the show, and that she will look everywhere to find the right talent.
However, the casting process is not without its challenges. She revealed that she often receives unsolicited audition tapes and videos from aspiring actors, which sometimes include inappropriate content. These NSFW self-tapes, as Hendry referred to them... can range from borderline ⁘⁘⁘sive to simply awkward. While it is unclear whether the prevalence of such content is due to the show's explicit content or simply a result of the ease of contacting her, Hendry emphasized that it is an overwhelming issue.
The casting director's comments come after reports that Bridgerton's popularity has led to a surge in interest in the show, with many aspiring actors hoping to join the cast. Despite the challenges, Hendry ⁘⁘⁘ committed to her role as a casting director and is determined to find the best talent for the show. Her willingness to consider all comers, regardless of experience level... has undoubtedly contributed to the show's success. As Bridgerton's popularity continues to grow, it is likely that Hendry's inbox will remain filled with auditions and, "unfortunately," "NSFW content."
