Do actors fear casting directors?

Paul De Freitas (Casting Director) gives expert video advice on: Have you discovered someone who is now a big star?; How do you cope with a difficult actor?; What happens if the director hates the people who you've cast? and more...

I personally don't think actors fear casting directors. I sometimes hear stories that they do fear casting directors and really, I always say to actors, as a casting director I'm only as good as you are, so if I'm doing something that frightens you or that you fear, tell me because I'm trying to stop doing it because actors are the tools of my industry and my profession. And, as I say, a casting director is only as good as the actors are and if they're lousy because they fear me, I'm lousy.
