Lucy Pardee is a British casting director, who is an exponent of street casting. Pardee used this to great effect in her work on Rocks, for which she was awarded a BAFTA for Casting Direction in 2021.[1] [2] [3] [4] She was the second person to receive the accolade since its introduction in 2019, when it was awarded to Shayna Markowitz.[5] Pardee was nominated for second BAFTA award in 2022 for her work on the film Aftersun.[6] [7] She has spoken out about how the Academy Awards should also introduce an award for casting direction.[8]

Pardee has also commented about how she sees here work in street casting as a key route for new talent into the industry, particularly in the UK, where according to her provision for drama for young people, both in and outside education, has been "decimated by the Tory government".[9]
