The premiere of Quentin Tarantino's 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' in 2019 highlighted the star power of Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and Margot Robbie. However, its lasting legacy is arguably more about the breakout success of newer actors like Mikey Madison and Austin Butler, who have found significant acclaim since the film's release. Much of this can be attributed to casting director Victoria Thomas, who has collaborated with Tarantino on multiple projects. Though she claims there was no specific agenda to foster new talent, the film indeed reflects a transition period in Hollywood, bridging old and new generation actors.
When we cast, we always want to reflect the times, like a handover from one generation to the next. In 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,' we embraced this shift.
Victoria Thomas emphasized that while there was no deliberate agenda in finding new stars, they were particularly excited by the fresh talent that emerged from casting.
