OnCamera has it right, but my description would be:
When a production needs to cast roles they hire casting directors to help them fill those spots. They send Breakdown Services a description of the characters and then Breakdown Services send those descriptions out to all the agents. The agents compare those descriptions to their clients and then they submit headshots and resumes to the casting directors for anyone who fits the basic description. If the casting director thinks the actor looks right, they set up an audition. Then the actor goes in and if they do well and the casting director still thinks they may be right for the part they're given a call back and the process goes on from there.

That isn't how the process works.
How Films and TV Shows are Cast
The Film and Television Studios give the "green light" for movies and TV shows to be produced. Then the production companies hire casting directors, who in turn send out "breakdowns" of the characters being cast. These "breakdowns" actually are sent out by a service called "Breakdown Services" and are only available to licensed Talent Agencies. Then the agents at these agencies submit photos, resumes, and sometimes "demo-reels" to the casting directors. Then the casting directors call in the actors that fit the roles they are casting, usually many many actors are called in. Then they narrow it down to the best actors who came in and "call back" these actors to read again for the director, sometimes the writer, producer,etc.. Then they narrow it down further, and sometimes there are 3 - 4 "call backs" before an actor is finally hired.

Hi, I'm just here to warn you that newyorkgal71 thinks she is better than everybody and often answers questions by calling the asker "Hon" which makes her seem more superior to everybody.
