As an actor who can't get arrested in this town a lot (what? you want a slightly overweight, blue eyed blonde actress, born on Nov 8th, 5'7" with a thing for high heels? Great! Wait, not me? Oh.) you get really, really immune to it, the not getting the role. I've never been on the other side of the casting fence, but know so many who have been and, frankly, I think my job is easier.
My theory in auditions is this - treat the audition like a performance; walk in, do your best and then TOTALLY FORGET ABOUT IT. If you get it, happy surprise.
Admittedly, it's taken me 35 years to even be able to sorta do this.
So long story not so short, we know. And we understand.
That said, this was one of those happy surprise days.
