Lori Wyman was born on April 19th at Mt Sinai Hospital in Miami Beach.
Her mother was a schoolteacher and her father had a manufacturing
business. Lori grew up about five minutes from where her office is
today. At the age of seven Lori began studying classical piano and
competed in recording competitions, winning several local and national
awards. She also acted in school plays. Although not into organized
sports, she was an avid bike rider.
Lori went to Sable Palm Elementary, John F. Kennedy Junior High and
North Miami Beach Senior High where she acted in some of the school
plays. She attended the University of Florida and graduated from the
University of Miami where she majored in speech and communications. She
studied acting and had roles in some of the plays, but most of her time
was spent in public speaking and college debates. Lori worked for an
advertising agency while attending college.
After graduating from college, she started working for Act One, a
talent agency doing filing and typing. She later started calling
talent, scheduled them for castings, learning as she goes. At this time
there were only about three casting directors in Miami. One of the
casting directors was handling the Miami Vice series and hired Lori to
do the principal casting for the show in her office. She worked for
them for the last two years of production.
Lori then landed the B.L. Stryker (1989) series with Burt Reynolds in Jupiter, Florida.
While working with Stryker she also worked with Stephen J. Cannell on a
couple of episodes of 21 Jump Street (1987). When Stryker ended she picked up
Wiseguy (1987), another series with Stephen J. Cannell. At the conclusion of
Wiseguys she was out of a job, and after advice from couple of friends,
Marc Macaulay and Bob Lasky she opened Lori Wyman Casting.
The first years Lori made a few trips to LA to promote herself and to
push the Florida talent pool. The work started pouring in with such
films as Striptease, Blood and Wine, Up Close and Personal, and Wild
Things. In the past 2 years she has cast All About the Benjamins (2002), Big Trouble (2002), and The Crew
just to name a few. She just wrapped 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) and is currently casting
_"C.S.I.: Miami" (2002)_.
Lori met husband Marc Macaulay while working on Miami Vice where he came in
to cast for the show. They married in 1994, after he moved to live and
work in Florida.
