John Doornik Casting

Since we’ve been casting for commercials, film and photography, connecting directors, agencies and real people to tell authentic stories. Based in Amsterdam, we work across genres and borders. Humour is part of our DNA, but we’re equally at home casting beauty, character faces, street talent and athletes. Diversity isn’t a trend to us, it’s our daily reality. Our recent work includes several Gouden Loeki-winning campaigns for the Staatsloterij, created by TBWA\Neboko including Hondje Frekkel, Egel Freddie, Katje Frummel and Wacht niet tot geluk je overkomt, alongside collaborations with other leading agencies and directors in the Netherlands and abroad, including long-running campaigs for Kruidvat. Earlier work includes award-winning classics such as Heineken “Walk-in Fridge”, Volkswagen “Das Hund”, KPN “Goeiemoggel” and Telfort “Ex-miljonair.” Whether casting actors or researching real people for storytelling, our focus is always on making ideas work through casting, balancing performance, production value and authenticity. Always hands-on, always human.
