Jane Anderson has worked in casting since 2004, working exclusively in TV & Film, until 2021 when she branched out into adding casting for Stage to her repertoire.
She has a thorough knowledge of many aspects of the industry; having grown up with a sibling and friends in the Performing Arts, specialising in Performance Photography in her Contemporary Media Practice degree, as well as working in production for over 3 years - covering Films, Commercials and an Animation series. Before forging out on her own in 2010 she had spent 6 years working alongside some of the most respected Casting Directors in the Industry including, as an assistant, Di Carling, Rachel Freck, Gary Davy and as a Casting Associate with Kate Rhodes James. Her casting has been informed and is inspired by her many life chapters; growing up in a mixed English / Jamaican family in North London, her studies, 3 years in production, travelling extensively in her 20s, living in Melbourne for 4 years, and then after returning to London, eventually relocating to the North West of England for a more rewarding life. Having in the past worked extensively with young and graduating performers, she joined LAMDA in 2023 as one of their Industry and Career Development Associates, offering support and guidance to their graduating students. If she's not escaping to the hills or somewhere further afield for an adventure, you'll find her out at the theatre where she continually updates her knowledge of talent, in order to maintain her innovative and fresh approach to casting. She is on the Board of Trustees for 53Two Arts Venue in Manchester, and a on the Committee of the Casting Directors' Guild of UK & Ireland.
