I have been told that one reason producers don't want to give health care, retirements benefits, etc is that the casting director comes into a project, does it, and then leaves. There is no continuation of her/his work as there is with set design, music, costumes, etc.

So my question is, "Do casting directors leave something (like a casting guide) with the production that could be used on an on-going basis to fill in when people leave a show? Could this casting guide be considered their continuing part of the production?

Meanwhile, did you know that casting directors have been forbidden by the Director's Guild of America from using the credit "Casting Director." The DGA refuses to acknowledge that anyone else on a movie is a "director." So casting directors are listed in movies as "Casting by". Cruel.
