The Producer/Creator and the Actor

One of the most important relationships in the television business is the one between the creator/producer and the actor. Television is traditionally the producers medium – and nowhere is this more true than with incredibly successful House Husbands TV series. Producers have the final say on script, casting and the “look” of the production. Actors and stars of House Husbands, Rhys Muldoon and Natalie Saleeba will explore the successful actor/producer relationship with executive producerand writer, Ellie Beaumont and unravel how the magic happens. Topics to be discussed include: What are the prerequisites for a producer choosing an actor for projects besides "being perfect for the role..." and how are decisions made?

House Husbands was created by Ellie Beaumont and Drew Proffitt. Producers are Sue Seeary, Drew Proffitt and Ellie Beaumont.
