I don't even know how to write about this latest audition to make it sound like something new. It's a part I feel like I am right for, I think I gave a good reading, I know I can do a good job playing this character, I did not get the job. That story has played itself out so many times in the last three months of pilot auditions, even in the last 12 months of all auditions.
I read for this role nearly two months ago and they passed on me. They have found no one since and are willing to re-visit the idea of John Ducey as SEAN. Jeff Greenberg, who has always been very supportive, met with me this morning for a little work session before the audition. I thought it was tremendously helpful. Twenty minutes with Jeff and then 30 or so minutes on my own and I thought I had crafted a masterpiece.
The producers felt otherwise.
