Robyn Adamson
Actress and Former talent agency owner

“I have known Catrine McGregor for decades and she is one of my strongest supporters. She has stood by me through thick and thin and I know that I can always lean on her personally and professionally. What’s even better about Catrine is that every actor she’s worked with feels that way.”
- Todd Bridges, Diff’rent Strokes

“As the producer on our award-winning Tex Murphy video game series, Catrine was acutely aware of the SAG-AFTRA rules. I learned to never question her advice on even the most complex situations. She knows SAG-AFTRA and on top of that, knows the very gray area of how to navigate how the rules apply in a right-to-work state.”
- Chris Jones - CEO

“My career has taken off in LA, and I attribute much of that to six little words Catrine McGregor said to me several years ago when I was acting in NC: ‘You need to move to LA.’ THANK YOU!”
- Bill Oberst, Actor

“Catrine McGregor isn’t your typical Hollywood producer. She sees actors as people to enrich and encourage not just as a means to an end. I love her.”
- Cynda Williams, Actress (Star of Mo’ Better Blues)

“Catrine McGregor is the most trusted casting professional I know, and I cannot not endorse her integrity and professionalism more highly.”
- Tom Russell, Director, Writer, BYU Film Professor

“Catrine’s heart is as big as her talents.”
- Joe Estevez, Actor 100’s of films!

“I’ve had the distinct pleasure of working with Catrine on several levels and I’m always impressed with her talent, hard work and professionalism. She’s not only a wonderful person to be associated with, but a trove of assets to any production.”
- Rudy Luna, Award-winning Writer, Director, Producer

“Catrine has a wonderful passion for the craft and a love for actors and filmmakers!”
- Will Wallace, Director, Actor, Producer

“I have been nothing but impressed with Catrine McGregor and her knowledge of the industry. Her willingness to see to an actor’s needs as an individual sets her apart from any other professional in this line of work.”
- Taylor Stanger, Broadway Actor, Dancer, Singer

“I met Catrine McGregor at an auditioning workshop she did many years ago. I attended the workshop on a whim, and really had no intention of actively pursuing acting at the time. But from the moment I met Catrine, she was kind and supportive. After the workshop she made a point to come to me and say some very encouraging words. She then set me up with my first talent agent. And from that point on, she has specifically requested me for several projects she has cast and produced. The thing is, I am 3 feet tall, and in a wheelchair. I’m not the most likely candidate for being an actor, and I’m not exactly the easiest person to cast, because of my very specific situation. But the thing I love most about Catrine, and there are many things to love, is she has never seen me as a novelty act, or a specialty “disabled actor”, she sees me simply, as an actor. The roles she has requested me to audition for were not written for “wheelchair guy” or “little person”, they were just characters, and Catrine believed in me enough to see my potential and see me as those characters. On set and in life, Catrine is helpful, friendly, loving and kind. She believes in the people she works with, and gives people a chance when others don’t. Her support and kindness toward me has played a major part in my career path, and I am forever grateful to have Catrine as a professional contact, and a friend.”
- Travis Eberhard, Actor
