My Take
What impresses me about Tommy Dorfman is the decision to move from being cast to doing the casting. Known for playing Ryan Shaver in 13 Reasons Why, the Fordham-educated, Atlanta-born talent has expanded into directing, screenwriting, and producing. To me, that signals a real determination to tell one's own stories rather than wait for the right part to arrive. Building a world instead of just inhabiting someone else's is no small leap, and it takes nerve. I always root for artists who insist on defining who they become, and I am genuinely curious to see what Dorfman creates next.
