In 1998, he opened his own production company called Kevin Fennessy Casting, which is allied with Christy Scott's Saint-Aire Productions and provides a wide-range of casting services.
Fennessy said he regularly applies what he learned as an actor and a small-film director to his larger productions today, such as his recent film Lift.
"It just seemed like the perfect opportunity for me to pull everything I had learned from the past together," he said.
Fennessy spoke at length about the differences between filming in Boston and filming in New York or Hollywood.
"If what you want to be is to be a star, you probably have to go somewhere else," Fennessy said. "It looks like actors in Boston don't do as much training in acting as those in New York."
But Fennessy also said there might be extra perks for Boston-based actors.
"Boston actors are getting more respect now than 10 to 15 years ago," he said.
