I remember auditioning for the Wonder Woman television show and being told that I wasn't the Wonder Woman type, but if I wanted to play the best friend, I could audition for that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'd love to play Wonder Woman.
I remember playing with some friends and being aware that I was acting as I was playing with them - I would think of a character and pretend to be someone else.
So the only things I was being allowed to audition for were small roles in comedies. It broke my heart. No one would see me for anything else. I knew, in order to open up my career, I had to leave or that's all I would ever be given.
Miss Goodblatt would call on me to read. She said I had a talent. So on a whim, I auditioned for the High School of Performing Arts in Manhattan.
I always saw myself as a comedic actor and wacky best friend.
In N.Y.C., I auditioned for mostly 'quirky friend' roles. Since casting directors in L.A. lacked a preconceived notion of me, I was able to reinvent my type a bit, which was essential in booking the role of Amanda on 'Ugly Betty.' I don't believe I would have auditioned for that role in N.Y.
At first I was always cast as the girlfriend. It was a long time before I got to play characters who were people.
When I was in college, all the pretty women were in the theatre, so I auditioned for a play.
I would love to play Wonder Woman on the big screen.
When I was told that I was being offered a role in 'Miss Julie,' I already knew I wanted to do it.
