Goloka Bolte, the casting director for “Drag Race,” who with Ethan Petersen won the Emmy in the category last year, says the VH1 competition show “has a really unique casting process, in that we ask all the queens to make a videotape” that shows why they’re “quintuple threats.” Even if the producers and casting people have learned of a talented drag queen whom they want to cast, the queen still has to make a tape, Bolte says. “It’s almost like it’s the first challenge of the show.
The season also featured Gottmik, the first openly transgender man to appear on the show. “I was so excited to find out he was going to apply for Season 13,” Bolte says. “Gottmik is such an absolute star, and an amazing artist and drag queen whose journey to the Top 4 was just incredible to watch.”The popularity of “Drag Race” has increased the pool of contestants from whom Bolte has to choose.
Season 18 of “Top Chef,” filmed in Portland, Ore., in the late summer and fall, also reflected the current moment by having more BIPOC chefs than ever before. The entire Top 7 lineup were chefs of color, and Gabe Erales was the show’s first Mexican American winner. The nominated season of “Queer Eye” premiered on Netflix in June 2020, having filmed in Philadelphia in summer 2019. Meaning, though its Season 5 episodes were a balm for people during the early months of the pandemic, casting director Danielle Gervais, executive vice president of casting and talent at ITV America, and her team didn’t have to cast it during COVID.
