...She gets a SAG eligible, recurrent, speaking role on a critically acclaimed TV show called, "Veronica Mars."
Here's the Fat Girl's story:
CASTING! Cathy. An overweight high school girl with three lines.
The Agent: Jovi, Stu Segall productions wants you to audition for them (for the 100th time). Can you go?
Jovi: I sure will. It'll be good to see Candice, (the Casting Director who knows me by name and whom I shared a personal conversation about her first born child being the best thing she's ever done in her life) again!
::Jovi flashbacks to the one audition where she was cast and then immediately not cast, with Candice, because the role was switched to be a male part. Jovi figures, "Hell. Why not try again."::
She goes to the studio. Stu Segall Productions. She rehearses her three lines.
Her fat girl scene takes place in the hallway of the high school where pair of immature teenage boys judge the beauty of girls that walk by; on a scale from one to ten. A really hot girl passed by and scored an 8.
Cathy, the "pleasantly plump" girl (Jovi) nervously walks the gauntlet.
Snap (a skinny black guy, said within a cough) "FOUR!"
Cathy: Grow up!
Cut.
New scene in a classroom taught by the incredibly hot Dr. Landry.
Cathy (to Veronica Mars): Skip class? I'm going to staple myself to the floor.
Cut.
Dr. Landry switched slides on power point. A list of books appear on the screen
Professor Landry: Here's your reading list for the semester,
Cathy: What about your book, Dr. Landry?
END SCENE.
THE AUDITION: Candice is sitting next to another male director that Jovi has never met. He runs the audition.
Director: Any questions before we begin, Jovi?
Jovi: Is she (Cathy) supposed to be seductive?
Director: No, she's more excited. Enthused.
(Jovi, being a theater actress, says all her lines with full gusto. The first line was said perfectly. But the director tells her to bring down the last two lines to a more natural level.)
Jovi changes and says in a controlled, but high level of enthusiasm:
"What about your...book...Dr. Landry? *sigh*" (Cathy swoons.)
The director chuckles! "Excellent adjustment, Jovi! Thanks."
The next day, Elegance Talent Agency calls Jovi at her desk at work; announcing that, after a long time of auditioning with Stu Segall Productions, the directors wanted Jovi on board for a recurring role. Thus, to be paid the SAG rate, and to star as, not the pleasantly plump Cathy, but rather a Female Prisoner who remains nameless for now.
A massive text message was sent out to all her nearest and dearest.
It was one of the happiest moments of my life.
