I had an audition where Josh Brolin was pelting me with his personality. I didn't get the part.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I wish I knew that when I go in for an audition and I don't get the part, it actually doesn't have to do with me on a personal level.
Many's the audition I waltzed into unprepared and wondered why I didn't get it. I learned the hard way.
The first audition I went out on was because my father was on an audition for a TV show called the 'Gilmore Girls,' and that kind of snowballed a lot of stuff in my life.
I was really awful at auditions. There's something about sitting down and saying into the camera: 'I'm Nina and this is the name of my agent.' That makes me just die inside.
The first audition my manger sent me on was 'The Hunger Games,' and I got the role.
With 'The Leftovers,' I was actually super, super lucky. It was my first major audition. When I came out, the casting director was kissing me on the face, and I was like, 'Oh, that's probably a good sign.'
The first audition I ever went on, I was accompanied by my mother at the instruction of my father. 'You have to learn how to take rejection if you really want to be an actor,' he said. He had to eat his own words. I got the job.
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.
I went on an audition. I walked in the room, and it was Leslie Mann with Judd Apatow. It was intimidating.
I auditioned for Robert Redford once and I was so starstruck I couldn't even speak. I had a mic wire at a screen test clipped to me and then I got kind of nervous and I paced in a circle and then took a step and tripped and fell on my face. You just have to forgive yourself and keep going on.
