Breakfast All Day Podcast: A La Carte With Julia Kim

Julia Kim is a veteran casting director who’s worked on such eclectic independent films as “But I’m a Cheerleader,” “Starlet” and “Spa Night.” She’s also a really cool, smart, interesting woman whom I’m lucky to call my friend. My fellow Los Angeles native talks about growing up in the San Fernando Valley in the ’80s as the daughter of Korean immigrants, her early years performing as a classically trained pianist, working on “The Simpsons” during the show’s ’90s heyday and her 20-year career as a casting director, which includes the upcoming Sundance favorite “The Last Black Man in San Francisco.” Julia also discusses her consulting company, invAsianLA, which helps Asian actors navigate the casting process, and offers tips on making your best impression during auditions. It’s an especially informative episode of A La Carte, so I hope you enjoy.

    • Hi Michael. I’ve asked friends of mine who work in film, TV, pop culture etc. to come on the show — just folks I know and would like to have a conversation with about what they do.

  1. Great interview and very interesting and intelligent person. It is so refreshing when an interviewer allows the guest to speak without interruption.
