Wow.

Uh, it was ironically at grad school, being a poor college student, they have call-outs where they're like, "Hey, we'll give you free food if you come check out, like the programs that we have to offer." And the theater school was having one of these call-outs, and I got some free pizza.
7:53
And they're like, "Hey, we have an audition.
7:54
Like you don't even have to memorize anything, just grab a monologue off the board, come into the audition, and like try it out." I'm like, "Yeah, I can do that.
8:02
I can, I can try this out." And so I went to this audition, and I did like kind of like rehearse it a little bit and read my monologue.
8:11
And when I was done, the directors look at me, and the one specifically that was casting was just like, looks at my file, looks back at me, and he's like, "Okay, I'm not gonna cast you anything because you're going for engineering and you're not gonna have time for this."
