Hacker's pulled off the largest crypto heist in history.

$600 million. I mean, I was jaw-dropping. That's a huge amount of money.

The race to track down the stolen money led the investigators in the FBI around the globe.

When you're dealing with hacking groups that have an army of cyber criminals you're in for a long fight.

A classic who'd on it and how from planet money on NPR.

This is Fresh Air. I'm Terry Gross. The movies, Barbie, Lady Bird, the 40-year-old virgin,

super bad, knocked up, Taladega Knights, Step Brothers, Borat, and Bridesmaids.

And the TV shows, Veepe, Parks and Recreation, The Office, The Good Place,

Kirby Enthusiasm, Freaks and Geeks, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

All these shows and movies have one person in common.

Someone who is instrumental in creating their personalities.

Unless you're in the industry, you probably don't know her name.

It's Alison Jones, a casting director credited with finding the actors

who helped usher in a new era of TV and movie comedies,

working with directors like Judd Apatow, Paul Fig, and Adam McKay.

She likes casting people who look like real people and aren't necessarily gorgeous, handsome and

hot, but are truly funny. In a New Yorker profile back in 2015,

headlined The Nerd Hunter, she was described as reshaping comedy one misfit at a time.

In just one show, Freaks and Geeks, she cast the then unknown, Seth Rogan, Jason Siegel,

Lizzie Kaplan, Linda Cardellini, and James Franco. Her favorite job was Family Ties.

It was her first job working as a casting assistant.

Alison Jones, welcome to Fresh Air. What a pleasure to have you on the show.
