Stay in the loop on industry and casting news with our write-up on who’s been slated for recent film and television roles! “Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists”They’ve got a secret and, once again, they’d like to keep it. “Pretty Little Liars” might be gone, but its fandom has sparked a spinoff.

Casting is underway with Zane/Pillsbury on the pilot, but a couple of familiar faces have already been tapped to headline the project.

It’s a question that’s plagued mankind since the dawn of time — or at least since the Fox comedy premiered in 2009 — yet has never been conclusively answered. After much deliberation, and many hours tumbling downward in a YouTube rabbit hole, I believe I’ve finally settled on a winner.

After apprenticing with some of the most prolific casting directors in the business, Brett Greenstein and Collin Daniel decided to join forces and strike out on their own. Five years later, the duo, based in Los Angeles, boasts a wide array of credits, ranging from the family-friendly comedies "10 Things I Hate About You" and "Rita Rocks" to the much-hyped "Melrose Place" reboot. The partnership works, says Greenstein, because they both like to have fun and are "even-keeled, mild-tempered people." Adds Daniel, "At the end of the day, we're just casting a TV show; we're not saving the world here."Career PathBrett Greenstein: I was working at a film production company and I was being groomed for a development-executive job.
