Casting: Je Suis Talent organized and facilitated a casting call for the TV show “The Healthologist” at the Chicago Center for the Performing Arts. The casting call brought in talent from as far as St Louis, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois, all eager and excited for the opportunity. The room was buzzing with a group of amazing talent and enthusiasm. Each talent had one minute to express why they thought it was important to eat healthy, the responses were amazing and made Chef Eric’s job of selecting his cast very difficult. Je Suis Talent is also very excited to say that 5 members of the Je Suis Family passed the audition with flying colors, Kennedy & Rachel Ross, Mabela Rahic, Damariz Posadas and Elena Grozdanova.
