it means that you are influencing someone,
eg: plz stay away from him, you are casting a long shadow on him.
It actually means that someone has a lot of influence and it is hard to get your own spotlight because that person is so much more influential than anyone else. If your father or mother is a celebrity, or very rich, or even just very well known in your small town, they would cast a long shadow that would make it harder for you to be noticed for yourself instead of just as their kid.
This is similar to the idiom "big shoes to fill" which implies that you have to live up to the accomplishments of someone.
