Shari Rhodes

While watching this week’s episode of Breaking Bad, which I will review in an upcoming post, I was delighted to see an old friend, casting director Shari Rhodes, as a wheelchair-bound woman accosted by a pair of drug-cartell villains.  Then, at the end of the show, as I looked for Shari’s name in the credits, I was crushed to discover the show had been dedicated to her memory. 

Shari Rhodes was a casting director, acting coach, genuine cheerleader and good spirit.   Her credits include cating Jaws, Ragedy Man, and The Man in the Moon.  More importantly, her credits also include teaching and encouraging young actors of all kinds.  I cannot express how much Shari’s spirit, charm, and enthusiasm will be missed.

Thank you, Shari Rhodes, for the encouragement and friendship.  I will miss you.
