Cast
Brianne Howey
Brianne Howey is positively brilliant in her role as the sweet-talking but steely Georgia. Howey truly comes into her own with this role which requires comic expertise as well as a certain gravitas for the tougher topics that 'Ginny and Georgia' handles. Prior to 'Ginny and Georgia', Brianne Howey is best known for her roles as Reagan in The CW's Batwoman', Kat Rance in 'The Exorcist', and as Candy in the film 'Horrible Bosses 2'.
Debra J Fisher the executive producer of 'Ginny and Georgia' on casting Brianne says, "Brianne was the last to be cast because we had to find someone with just the right balance of beauty that kills you with a smile and stabs you in the chest without seeing it coming. We read and met with so many actresses in the US, Canada, and England. On one of our final casting days, Brianne had just returned from a European vacation and put herself on tape. We watched late Friday evening/early Saturday morning and we immediately had her in the office on Monday to read with Antonia. Once they read together, we knew right away Brianne was our Georgia."
Antonia Gentry
Antonia Gentry certainly had several challenging topics to deal with as she played Ginny. From self-harm to racism, young Ginny has to handle several truly challenging issues. According to director Anya Adams, Antonia also really helped to flesh out Ginny's character. Adams says, "Antonia brought an unbelievable depth of personal experience and was incredibly adept at expressing it through Ginny. She is an amazingly talented actor. Her willingness to jump in and do what was needed for her character was inspiring, and her hard work ethic and unfailing commitment to the project and the character of Ginny inspired those around her and elevated the work we all did."
Prior to 'Ginny and Georgia', 24-year old Antonia was known for her roles on ‘Raising Dion’ and ‘Candy Ja’. Her first ever play performed was an original work written by her mother, so talent clearly runs in this family.
Creators
The writers of ‘Ginny and Georgia’ are Debra J Fisher and Sarah Lampert. Debra J Fisher is also one of the executive producers of the show along with Anya Adams, Jen Daly and Dan March. Anya Adams is also the director of 'Ginny And Georgia'.
