About Hunter McHugh, CSA

Hello! I’m Hunter McHugh, the founder of On The Hunt Casting and a casting director based in the Southeast. I specialize in casting for both local and nationwide productions, connecting exceptional talent with compelling stories.

As a proud New Orleans native, I draw inspiration from my city's rich cultural heritage. With over 10 years of experience in film, television, and commercials, my journey began as an actor. I honed my skills at Mandeville High School and the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA) before earning my BFA in Acting from Northern Illinois University. I also had the incredible opportunity to study at the Moscow Art Theatre in Russia, deepening my understanding of the craft.

My love for casting grew as I transitioned from acting to working closely with production crews, starting as an extra and production assistant before becoming an assistant for directors, producers, and A-list actors. In 2019, I launched On The Hunt Casting and have been dedicated to it ever since. I’m also a proud member of the Casting Society of America (CSA).

I enjoy collaborating with talent, producers, and directors to bring their visions to life. If you're interested in working together or learning more about my services, please reach out!
