I met with Lisa on Monday of this week (three days ago) because she was concerned that I was too young for this role. They want the character to be in his mid-30s. That puts me slightly too young in real Earth time, and way too young in Television Made-up time, the same schedule that had Ally McBeal turning 30 last season. Mmm-hmm.
The role was worth a shot, though, and I convinced Lisa to bring me in to producers today. It's the lead role in the show and it's just about the only pilot going on out there right now. So what the heck?
My reading of the two scenes was good but they didn't see me as this guy. That felt pretty obvious as I gave a couple of lines the ol' Ducey spin and they spun themselves into oblivion. And what was the final word?
They decided I was too young for this role.
