Do you get paid for each role you cast?

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...

A casting director gets paid for the job, or for a casting session. A casting director's pay is not per character, it's per casting session. So therefore, on a commercial, it would be up to four characters, then after that point the casting director might charge per character; but basically pay is for a casting session.
