Casting Director And Filmmaker Jeff Olan Launches Podcast To Help People Better Navigate Hollywood

LOS ANGELES - Aug. 15, 2024 - PRLog -- Jeff Olan today announced the launch of his podcast Rollin' With Olan, an inclusive show for everyone with a stake in the entertainment industry. An intentionally wide range of guests will come on to share the kind of success stories from Hollywood that typically are not covered in detail. From actors to directors and from promising talent to established professionals, everyone in entertainment can find value and inspiration in these conversations.

"Jeff Olan's podcast provides a platform for discussion, exploration, discovery and long-form storytelling about the film industry," said legendary 1st Assistant Director Marty Eli Schwartz.  "Jeff interviews a wide range of film professionals that bring detail and an insider's view to the multifaceted industry they are in. Rollin' With Olan offers conversations based on in-depth research in the midst of what seems to be a changing film industry."

Arriving in Hollywood from Indiana more than 40 years ago, Jeff Olan originally had a dream of becoming an actor, but after a decade of pursuing that, he fell into the world of casting where he would quickly make his mark on the industry by doing background casting for everything from Pulp Fiction to Grey's Anatomy, and more recently he has also produced films like Demise.

"From four decades in Hollywood, what I've found is that there are so many more paths to success and happiness here than folks realize," said Jeff Olan, Casting Director and filmmaker. "Rollin' With Olan is a show dedicated to helping more people find the right path for them in the entertainment industry by learning from others, including people not typically interviewed."

The fascinating background of Jeff Olan includes living on a Billboard overlooking the famous Sunset Strip in Hollywood as part of a contest in 1984 and then hosting "Olan's Casting Report" on K-EARTH radio (101 on the FM dial) in Los Angeles for the next two years. Podcasting was clearly inevitable.

Rollin' With Olan is available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify with new episodes dropping every Thursday. The exclusive founding sponsor of the show is Source & Cast, the ultimate platform for the background community, connecting background actors and casting directors for movies, television shows and more.
