Jeremy Zimmerman - Casting Director

Jeremy Zimmerman

Hey, my name's Jeremy Zimmerman and I am the casting director of Hellboy 2: The Golden Army. To complete my job I have to try and find the perfect actors to play the characters in the movie.To find the right actors, I need to see the auditions first. I come in at about 7am to set up the audition room and prepare for the hopeful actors to come in and show off their skills.

The things that I mostly love about my job is seeing so many great actors everyday saying no to hundreds of amazing actors everyday. When I first got chosen to be the casting director for Hellboy, I never thought that so many great actors would want to try out for the roles in Hellboy. Especially for the role of Hellboy himself, there were over 400 men who wanted to be chosen as Hellboy but I could only pick one person. As soon as I saw Ron Perlman, who now plays the role of Hellboy, I knew he would be perfect for the role. He had everything, a great voice, the right look for Hellboy and his face looked exactly the same as what I wanted the actor to look like. I wish I could let everyone be in the movies I am the casting director for but I just can't.

There were a lot of problems casting the smaller roles like Prince Nuada and Princess Nuala because I needed. to find people that looked like what I wanted the characters for the movie. I just couldn't decide who to pick. There were about 20 fantastic auditions and I didn't know at all who I was going to choose for the roles. I eventually cut it down to 5 then I looked deeper into the script and tried to think of who I should pick as the characters. I then, after days of restless thinking, decided on who I should pick. I picked Luke Goss as Prince Nuada and Anna Walton as Princess Nuala.

I really think that absolutely anyone could enjoy or even love Hellboy 2: The Golden Army because it has so much action, adventure and amazing talent. I would recommend Hellboy 2 to anyone who loves a good action movie with lots of fighting scenes, comedy and adventure.

I hope you enjoy the finished movie, bye for now, Jeremy Zimmerman.
