The worst was when I went in for this After-School special, and I'm sitting in the waiting room with all these little kids. I see they're all signed in for the same role as me, so I check the time and place. I'm where I'm supposed to be. I call my agent. She says they asked for me specifically. So I go in. "Hello . . . Hi . . .We loved your guest spot on Baywatch . . .blah blah blah . ." Whatever. So, I start to read, and, I was money. I prepared for a week. It's a starring role. I'm crying. The casting director, she starts crying. I finish. I hold up my finger like "Wait a second". They sit in silence for, like, at least five minutes. I look up and they all start clapping, and now they're all crying. Even the camera guy. So, I swear to God this is exactly what he said. The producer says to me . . . now he's still crying . . he says to me that I was great, that that was exactly what they were looking for. Then he says it's just that I'm a little old. I'm like "How old is the part supposed to be?". He's like, he says this with a straight face, I swear to God, he says "Eleven." It's like, you looked at my tape. You saw my picture. Why did you call me in? You knew I was twenty-four. (What an asshole.)
Sorry, I just wasn't sure when I'd get a chance to ever quote that again. :)
