Is there a role or project people would be surprised to find out you auditioned for?
I mean, so many. I feel like I think all of us are always in the same pool for, like, auditions; I mean, like, I auditioned for Euphoria.
I feel like in your age range, there are a lot of up-and-coming actors, probably all going in for the same stuff. Have you ever run into the same people during an audition process?
I’ve always been based in Montreal, so I’ve mostly been doing my stuff on Zoom. I have, sometimes, though. Like, I ran into Sabrina Carpenter, and I remember coming out of the audition that I had, like, bombed. I bombed the audition, and so I started already not feeling great about myself. And as I walked out, the casting director knew Sabrina really well, and they greeted her with a big hug right after I left the room.
I mean, every time a new movie comes out on Netflix, I’m like, Well, this is something I auditioned for. But you accept that. It’s also kind of fun, though, because when I see the audition scene. I’m like, Oh, that’s such an interesting way of doing it. It’s really fun to see them interpret the character so differently than what I had propositioned.
