XOXO with Jessica Szohr

David Rapaport

What do you get when you combine the raw talent of Leighton Meester, the edginess of Ed Westwick, and the elegance of Kelly Rutherford? Well, it’s Gossip Girl of course... but how do you get that incredible group together in the first place? That’s where casting director David Rapaport comes in. He talks with Jessica all about the casting process, how he turned down a major network show for a little pilot on a little network called the CW, and how a little change to your hair might just change your whole life as an actor.
