Perry Lafferty

Executive

"A lot of people scream when I say this, but I really do believe that, in television, the most important element probably is the casting. If the scripts are no good and the production’s no good, the casting of the thing will flop. But if you had to line up the elements, the script, the producer, the costumes, the music, I think the casting is it."
