Rec. #745: Best Recent Evidence of the Genuis of Allison Jones, Casting Director


***BEST OF 2018***






Allison Jones is the casting director for The Good Place, which means she was responsible for pulling from the worlds of theater, improv, hip-hop dance, and British presenter-dom to find the perfect relative-unknowns to embody Chidi, Janet, Jason, and Tahani.

William Jackson Harper (Rec. #627), D'Arcy Carden (Rec. #629), Manny Jacinto (Rec. #628), and Jameela Jamil (Rec. #626) --- aka "the babies" --- hold their own, even against established television sweethearts Ted Danson and Kristen Bell.
