Audition 15: Commercial (Updated)

The character was supposed to be kind of dumpy, that's how it was described. So I didn't shave. When I got there it was obvious that shaving would have been the right thing to do. Oh well, I'm not gonna seat that. Not when I can sweat the remarkably inappropriate ad lib I tossed in at the end of the audition. A nice double entendre that wasn't meant that way in the least. But, still, man, know your audience. I think there's a good chance I'll get called back on this one.

2/24: Sure enough. Callback tomorrow. No surprise. I'm gonna shave this time.

That went fine. No big shakes. Nice to be called back with all those heavy hitters, though. When you see all the a-listers called back, you know you are doing something right. However, there were a shitload called back, so it's not like it's a 1/5 shot. More like 1/40 shot.
They didn't cream over me. They didn't really give me much of anything as far as notes went. However, I did exactly what they wanted from the go. So, I think I was an agency choice and not a director choice.

Ah, well. Next.
