What makes a great date? In Hollywood, it's a pair of stars bringing in major box-office dollars. But when a leading lady is taking home the movie budget's proverbial bacon, where does a casting director go to find, say, Jennifer Lopez's match made in cinematic heaven? USA TODAY's Andrea Mandell and casting director Lana Veenker (Twilight, TNT's Leverage) trace the path that has under-the-radar actors locking lips with some of Hollywood's hottest stars.
Romancing the star: O'Loughlin makes Jennifer Lopez swoon in The Back-up Plan, in theaters today. O'Loughlin plays Stan, a natural-foods purveyor who falls in love with Zoe (Lopez), a single woman disillusioned about ever finding the one, who has recently chosen artificial insemination so she can bear a child. "There was a real family vibe on set," says O'Loughlin, who got to know Lopez before shooting the film. "We had a chat to get to know each other. It was a chemistry meeting. We clicked. We had a laugh. We had the same sort of take on the film. It all made sense."
