London, England
Casting agents Ros and John Hubbard will be among those honored at the sixth annual Oscar Wilde: Honoring the Irish in Film event on Feb. 24 at the Ebell theater in Los Angeles.
The Hubbards have cast such films as The Commitments, The Lord of the Rings, The Bourne Ultimatum and Green Zone and have helped start the film careers of such actors as Kate Winslet, Orlando Bloom, Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Colin Farrell.
The couple formed Hubbard Casting in 1976 and have offices in Ireland and England. Trina Vargo, president of the U.S.-Ireland Alliance, which hosts the event, said it was a given that the Hubbards would be honored on the 20th anniversary of the Dublin-set musical drama The Commitments.
