Luckily, he parlayed his freelance casting camera op gig into an assistant position at Lewis Kay Casting and has been there since 2021. He has worked on many beloved series, including The Boys and What We Do in the Shadows.

We are thrilled to announce tonight’s first time Slam judge, long time industry pro…
the incredible 🎉 🥰 of 🎬✨

Chandler Loryn Boriska has been an integral part of Buchan Knight Casting for nearly a decade. She began her career in the entertainment industry as an actor, which gave her a unique and invaluable perspective when transitioning behind the scenes. Drawing on her deep understanding of actors, Chandler quickly honed her skills as a session runner and reader in live audition sessions. Her ability to connect with talent and see the nuances of a performance has made her an essential asset in the casting process.

Over the years, Chandler has collaborated with John Buchan and Jason Knight on notable projects such as Accused (Fox), Murdoch Mysteries (CBC), and, most recently, the highly anticipated Netflix series Something Very Bad is Going to Happen (created by the Duffer Brothers). With a keen eye for talent and a passion for bringing words to life, Chandler is now taking on casting projects of her own. She looks forward to continuing her work in casting, fostering new and lasting relationships with actors, and watching as performances transform scripts into compelling stories.
