Lou Smernicki

Kate and Lou fact – Lou’s real name is Kate but in a company of 2, both having the same name can be a little confusing so Kate Louise Smernicki became Lou at work…. Lou created K&L Casting with Kate Evans in early 2000. In 2018 she relocated to Scotland where she heads the K&L Edinburgh office, a new venture for the business which will widen the talent pool available to our clients and focus on our growing film and TV work.

Lou is a firm believer that positive intention from the outset sets up any project for success, and imposes no limits on what is possible.
