Grown Ups opens this weekend. Congratulations to Roger Mussenden and Jeremy Rich, the casting directors on this feature film. With casting sessions in New York, Boston, and Los Angeles, Cast It served as the central online hub for the casting directors to upload actors, actor profiles, reels and auditions. The director, producers and studio execs could then log in to Cast It to view this project and the casting materials.
