Shots of Purgatory

Casting Directors = my prey

Another audition. This is what it's like, people. Sit around till your number is called - in this case for a whole hour - staring at people's shoes. Then I go in there and make magic happen for the casting director and the client. Let me describe what's happening here: There is a hot model casting down the other hall, but that isn't us. Dunkin Donuts is looking for dorks, so we huddle together on benches, looking dorky. Every now and then an insanely gorgeous woman strides by on spider legs, heading to her very different audition, and we cringe on the bench and pretend not to look at her. This is the moment where I have just killed it in the room. And they didn't cast me. Is it just me, or are people totally nutzos?
