I didn't audition for 'Fargo.' It was a straight offer.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
No I didn't audition, I didn't even know David Lynch till the week before I started the film.
I think I was first choice for the part. I don't know - that's what they always tell you anyway. I didn't have to do any audition for the part. Sam saw me in Dinner and the whole thing slipped into place.
Everyone thinks offers are always pouring in. Offers have never poured in. Never. I was auditioning a lot, but I didn't get the jobs.
I don't think auditioning will ever faze me again after the 'Grease' TV experience. It was fierce. There were thousands of people auditioning in four cities. I flew from home in Minneapolis to audition in L.A. I waited in line all day. I arrived at 7 A.M. and wasn't seen until 6 P.M.
I was lucky - the first eight productions I auditioned for, I got cast.
When 'Hung' got canceled, I was available for pilot season, and 'Arrow' was the first thing I auditioned for. It wasn't the first script that came to me, but it was my first audition.
Down South, I never had to audition. They would call me up and give me a role.
I taped my original audition for 'Fargo' with my agency in Chicago, Stewart Talent.
Many's the audition I waltzed into unprepared and wondered why I didn't get it. I learned the hard way.
I didn't want to do 'Casino Royale' when they told me to audition. I said no. Then they sent me the script, and I thought it was actually very interesting - and I had no other work at the time.
