Meet the Creator

Christine Solomon

With decades of experience as an actress, coach, and consultant, I’ve built a career that spans multiple industries and international markets. My journey in entertainment has been anything but conventional, and through my experiences, I’ve developed unique strategies that help actors and industry professionals succeed.

As the Creator of Cast Forward, I don’t just share industry techniques—I bring my firsthand experience navigating the entertainment industry across multiple markets, including the USA, Canada and internationally.

I succeeded in Egypt and booked roles even when I didn’t know how to read or write Arabic, developing original techniques to overcome obstacles and break into competitive industries. Over the years, I expanded my career across North America, working with major studios and networks, including HBO Canada, Disney and Ubisoft. My work has been showcased globally and I’ve been featured in publications such as Variety, The National Post and Screen India.

But what I’ve truly discovered along the way is that I have a talent for helping others navigate this industry. Through my consultancy, I’ve worked with actors at every stage of their careers, as well as established entertainment professionals, to help them gain clarity, build strategic career plans and take actionable steps toward success. I’ve helped clients secure agents and managers, book roles through coaching and build strong visa applications that have led to successful approvals. I’ve also guided professionals in refining their materials, crafting compelling resumes and bios, and positioning themselves for greater opportunities.

In addition to working with actors, I’ve also helped parents who wanted to introduce their children to the entertainment industry. Understanding how to safely and strategically enter the business can be overwhelming and I’ve worked closely with families to ensure they have the right guidance, resources and industry knowledge to help their children succeed.

Beyond my work with actors, I’ve had the privilege of serving as a jury member for film festivals and being part of the 25th Annual SAG Awards Television Nominating Committee, where I helped evaluate and select nominees for one of the industry’s most prestigious acting honors. I’m a member of the Association of Acting Coaches and Educators (AACE), a selective organization that upholds high standards in acting education.

Through my journey, I’ve learned that success in this industry isn’t just about talent—it’s about strategy, resilience and knowing how to navigate the business. Some of these strategies I learned the hard way and others I created for myself. Now, I share them with actors, industry professionals and parents who want to help their children take their first steps in entertainment.

Cast Forward delivers real-world techniques, industry insights and exclusive career strategies that help actors stand out, get cast and stay ahead in a competitive industry.
