Dean Fronk joined Donald Pemrick to form Pemrick/Fronk Casting, which has been in business for over fifteen years. In that time PFC has cast over 250 projects ranging from feature films, Movies of the Week, television series, and video games. Specializing in family entertainment, Dean has worked with young talent the likes of Shia LaBeouf, Jessica Alba, Scarlett Johanssen, Leighton Meester, Ben Foster, Haley Joel Osment and Josh Hutcherson. A true horror geek, he cast many titles like Rob Zombie's, House of 1000 Corpses and Children of the Corn IV starring Naomi Watts.
Recently, Dean has been casting Holiday movies as well as many other projects for the Lifetime Movie Network and the Hallmark Channel. His latest holiday project is Netflix's #1 Christmas Film The Merry Gentlemen starring Chad Michael Murray & Britt Robertson.
Their features are a variety of budgets with cast ranging from Sony's The Lodger (his first Artios nomination for casting) starring Alfred Molina, Hope Davis and Simon Baker to indie films in the past years starring John Cusack, Robert DeNiro, Cuba Gooding Jr., Val Kilmer, John Travolta, Tommy Lee Jones and Nicholas Cage. In addition to film and television, PFC is working on motion capture video games for 2K and others. NBA2k, WWE 2k and MAFIA 3 are some of the games Fronk has cast. Fronk has cast on location in cities ranging from Ft. Lauderdale/Miami, Houston, Austin, Spokane, Santa Fe, Salt Lake City, San Francisco and New York. He has cast abroad for films in Bulgaria, Canada, Prague, Italy, India, England, Spain and Chile. The ability to work with companies in the U.S. and overseas, a cohesive understanding of Producers, Directors, and Foreign Sales Agents, and an "open door" policy to the Acting community has enabled PFC to cast over five hundred projects since its inception. Fronk also has a prolific teaching and speaking career throughout the U.S. Focusing on audition technique, he teaches to build confidence and success for actors everywhere.
