  • John Putch

    " I had the distinct pleasure to work with Bonnie Lee Bouman on the NBC mini-series “Poseidon Adventure.” Within 5 minutes of the first audition I knew I was working with an artist. Bonnie’s approach to the simple mechanics of the session was even unique. The actors responded, I responded and the usually ordinary manner in which the parts were cast became inspiring. She shot the audition like you would if you were shooting the film. I for one, am a big fan of this and of Bonnie because of it. Bonnie produced for me the best actors that SA had to offer and her eye for talent was impressive. She had a clear understanding of the script and characters and her take on it was superb. Please contact me should you need any more comments about Bonnie. I have nothing but a truckload full....all good! "

    " It has been one of those rare professional relationships that you Recall with fond memories, respect and admiration. Bonnie Bouman is one such professional who has made a significant Contribution as the south African casting director in the making of The film 'Gandhi my father".. Her understanding of the medium, attention to character, Details, rigorous pursuit of excellence led to some brilliant casting. However, what struck me personally was her humanity in the most trying Circumstances. Crisscrossing actors across two continents over a Period of time, meeting impossible deadlines and bridging huge cultural Gaps, has earned her all round praise and as an actor she was a revelation. Simply natural. "

    " I had the chance to work with Bonnie and I have to say that beyond the great human relationship (nice, fun, kind person) we have developed… I was delighted with her listening, her talent, her intelligence, her understanding and her perseverance in work.

Thank you Bonnie! "

But how do you find the perfect person for the role, in the now, one day of casting you have due to timelines being squashed? You call Bonnie. Bonnie has an innate understanding of the industry, how it works & the pressures involved for all. Over about that she understands what good performance is. I find working with Bonnie has made casting an area that I can almost forget about¹. There is never a problem & always a can-do attitude. Even with limited time & money Bonnie will take on the project with a smile & always deliver. "
