Donna Rosenstein, the head of casting at Amazon MGM Studios, is exiting the studio amid broader layoffs at Amazon.
Amazon announced on Tuesday that 14,000 workers across a wide variety of its divisions globally would be impacted by the layoffs.
Rosenstein has been the head of casting for Amazon since 2015 after having previously worked for the streaming arm of the e-commerce giant as a casting consultant in 2014. She built the casting department at the streamer and was the first casting executive to be hired by the studio.
During her tenure, she worked on hit shows like “Transparent,” “Bosch,” and “The Boys.” She also led the team that cast Rachel Brosnahan as the lead in the global hit “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” as well as Alan Ritchson as the lead in the popular Amazon series “Reacher,” based on the Lee Child novels featuring the character Jack Reacher.
