CORNWELL CASTING COMPLETES “TOUGHEST CASTING JOB” WITH FOX’S JOE MILLIONAIRE

 FEBRUARY, 2022- Los Angeles, CA — With news breaking news today that FOX’s Joe Millionaire has rivaled The Bachelor in viewership and fandom, or maybe just memes about the two lead men’s “Bro-mance,” many are attributing the show's success to the up-leveling in casting executed by the casting crew at Cornwell Casting.

Since January of 2021, Cornwell Casting spent almost half a year casting the show, looking for two willing bachelors that would be the unicorn combination of; desirable for women, fun lead characters, would potentially get along as “bros” and oh, right, be a millionaire or at least potentially appear to be one.

What was their strategy for casting the show? What special qualities were they looking for?

How did they know when they found “the ones”?

According to Jason Cornwell, Co-Owner of Cornwell Casting, “Joe Millionaire was one of the most challenging jobs we’ve ever had. We had days where we didn’t actually know if this was going to work, to be honest. And then we found our leads and hoped, wished and prayed they got along when they met on set the first episode. Like the rest of America, we couldn’t be happier with the outcome.”

“We figured if the guys casting the show all got along with both Steven (McBee) and Kurt (Sowers) then they most likely would get along with each other,” said Damon Collazo, also a founder of Cornwell Casting. “Thank God they did… and their friendship is a great secondary story line.”
