Monday, September 13, 2004 No TV 4 Me

So, I had an audition a week ago for a walk on gig for a television show shooting in San Diego called, "Veronica Mars." I auditioned for the role, "punk kid." I got all dressed up and gothic looking; I have to admit, I looked pretty hot...lol!    Anyway, at the audition I stood in front of the camera boy, the casting director, and the producer and said this line: " Wanda's gonna blow this chick out of the water. (to Logan) You can kiss your precious Pirate Points goodbye." Funny line ain't it? I had to interpret that ambiguous thing. So I did...I said the line aggressively, the way I imagined a butchy punk chick saying the line.    The producer disagreed and said she wanted me to sound more astonished...as if the event that I'm talking about never happened before. So I stood there and thought a moment. I never read the script. I had no clue what was going on in the show...but astonished is what they wanted. After a moment, I repeated the line.    The producer loved it! She said that it was "perfect!" I did it "exactly the way" she wanted it! I nailed the audition! I was stoked. So, there I was gleaming- looking forward to union pay, becoming SAG eligible finally, and getting some action on TV.    Today I got a phone call from my agency. They told me that the writer decided to change the "Punk Kid" into a boy. Wow...I was soooooo bummed out. At least the producer "liked me a lot" my agent says......Isn't this just my luck...
