People will go into an audition and a casting situation, and they'll see someone across the room that's perhaps slightly famous, or famous, and they think, 'Oh God, I'm not gonna get the part.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As an actor, there's very little you can do if people don't want to see you. Just getting yourself into the room to audition is tough.
When you audition for something, and you book it, you think, 'Okay, well, I got the job, and now I actually have to show up on set and do it.' So, you show up on set, and you don't know, 'Am I going to get swallowed up by these people?'
If I got too famous, I'd just quit acting, but I think it's highly unlikely I'm going to get really famous.
You have to keep persevering. An actor goes to a lot of auditions and doesn't get the part.
It can't be overstated how wonderful it is not to have to audition any more. Any actor will tell you, it's like Christmas.
Going through the ranks and all the training you do as an actor, you hope you're going to make it. But there's a part of you that's got to be realistic and say: 'Look, it might not happen to me.'
You have to know that 99% of auditions you're not going to get.
If you're a young person who wants to become an actor, it's really important to walk into a casting room with a sense of yourself and some life experience. You can really delight a room and have them already choose you before you've even said a word!
When actors first come up, you're auditioning for everything - you're trying to sniff it out like a pig with a truffle and you would do anything!
Talking about auditions, you never know what anyone else is thinking.
