Mike Hopkins, SPT Chairman, announced that Dawn Steinberg has been promoted to EVP, Worldwide Talent & Casting, adding international productions to her current responsibilities.
In addition to overseeing talent and casting on our U.S. productions, Steinberg will now also lend her expertise to casting for series and limited series produced by all of our international production companies, including Left Bank Pictures, Playmaker Media, Teleset and Blueprint Pictures. She will continue to report to Jeff Frost, Chris Parnell and Jason Clodfelter on U.S. productions, and to Wayne Garvie for international.
For 15 years, Steinberg has been a fierce advocate for talent at SPT. She has led the casting of some of Sony’s most successful series including Breaking Bad, Outlander, The Goldbergs and this year’s most-watched new drama, The Good Doctor, where she was instrumental in casting Freddie Highmore.
Most recently, she oversaw casting on the new series, Cobra Kai. She has also championed diversity in casting on shows such as S.W.A.T., One Day at a Time, Alex, Inc., and others.
Prior to SPT, Steinberg was a casting consultant at NBC Studios and was SVP, Talent, and Casting, at Artists Television Group.
