"Chris was the Casting Director, Hair and Makeup Designer, Wardrobe Super, and On-set liaison between the Producers and talent. I have never seen anyone operate with such finesse and professionalism. I've never met such a talented, experienced, organized person who is that familiar with every facet of the industry. It was more than a pleasure to work with Chris. His enthusiasm and personality kept everyone on set lighthearted and laughing through the endless hours it took to complete this project. It was the most fun I've ever had shooting. "  

Andrew DiPalma: Professional Actor - CA/GA

chc associates casting and services originally began as a Talent Representation idea in the early 1970's. Realizing very quickly that a definite conflict of interest existed for Agents who call themselves Casting Directors, a small group of artists decided to address this unethical practice by others. Within several months, owner, Director and CEO Christopher Cline took a one room, one phone, and one cardboard filing box business and turned it into a one-of-a kind full service Casting and Production Support Agency for feature film, television, and legitimate professional or regional stages.

 

"We DO NOT support those persons or agencies who represent talent as agents and represent themselves as Casting Directors. This unprofessional and unethical practice has no place in our industry and we support the industry's leaders who share the same zero tolerance."      christopher cline: ceo/director
 

Now after 30 years, chc associates continues to create, grow, and perpetuate the highest caliber and standard of art and Talent Casting in the Southeast.

Christopher Cline grew up in a very small town in South Carolina next door to International Actress Andie McDowell, (who he has always thought of fondly and with great admiration and respect) and attended a number of schools. The USC (University of South Carolina for those who immediately thought of "the other coast") is where he received most of his technical training but graduated LAWDY HOW COME from HARD KNOCKS University. To many of his professional colleagues he is often referred to as Lon Chaney Cline as "you never know what face will show up."  He has traveled the world and never lights in one place long, unless there is a major project, character appearance, class to teach, speaking engagement, or contract with several lists of things to do. He has a wide extended family and dreams of building a log home in the mountains of North Carolina or Tennessee one day. Other than that basic information, you must meet him and get to know him.

In order to have this....

I need your help. 
We need to hear from you about your project.
At some point, when most of us retire, we can all sit on the porch
and reminisce about our years in Southern Hollywood.
Seriously, in order to accomplish these and other goals
we depend on your invitation and the opportunity to serve your company and
production needs.
