Avy Kaufman Casting

From wardrobe fittings to screen tests, casting offices fuel New York’s creative pipeline. Avy Kaufman Casting anchors that infrastructure between Greenwich Village’s brownstones and TriBeCa’s loft conversions, in a midtown high-rise where efficiency meets flexibility. Six days a week they stage call-backs, wardrobe pulls, and on-camera interviews for film, TV, and commercial projects.

To find the door, stop at 180 Varick St #1604 New York, NY 10014; the elevators deposit you on the 16th floor, a quick walk from Hudson River Park’s esplanade and Houston Street’s lunch crowds. Casting clients step off subway lines at Christopher Street, Spring Street, or Canal Street, then ride one flight up for appointments that rarely wait longer than five minutes. Photographers and stylists drop off racked garments at the same window between 9:00 and 6:00; B-roll shoots wrap, then resume two hours later inside.

Dial (212) 620-4256 when the call sheet carries an unfamiliar role or a same-day update. Voices change fast here—dialogue coaches, dialect consultants, hair & makeup artists, and background wranglers all funnel through the same extension. They rarely need to page backstage because the line rings directly into the casting pool’s rolling greenroom.

Save their digital floor plan before the SUV convoy arrives; the listing shows the suite’s exact spot among midtown’s grid. After you type the last digit of the address, open the directions page and let the pin anchor your GPS like a stage-pair mark. See you on set.
