I did become quite well known from "Four Weddings", and it helped hugely. I wasn`t as famous as Hugh Grant, but I certainly began to work. I couldn`t complain. It got me jobs in the theatre. I went for endless auditions for tiny parts in obscure plays and...
Anna Chancellor
On the one role that got away: "I`d have to say Ewan McGregor`s part in Moulin Rouge! (2001). It was soooo close. I sang and everything. I went through months of auditions. It was between me, Heath Ledger and Ewan. I think it came down to age and where pe...
Jake Gyllenhaal
(1998 quote on auditioning) It`s hard to maintain a sense of dignity in an audition. I have done so many auditions where I`ve put it out there and have been met with that kind of blank stare - "Great! Thanks! OK! Great work! Thanks for coming in!" At the ...
Ben Stiller
[Recalling a period he went through when he was 18]: I watched Raging Bull (1980) like 50 times. I wanted to be Italian. For a year I was Italian; that`s all I did. I could do all that New York street stuff to the point where I would get feedback from my ...
Sam Rockwell
I lived in Hollywood and, ironically, I didn`t know you could just go out and get an agent and go on auditions and try and become an actor, I thought it was like a Masonic thing, like a blood line you had to belong to - until I was 13. Then I realised wha...
Leonardo DiCaprio
And if you really believe in your heart of hearts that you have the talent, go for it. But you`ve got to make sure you really have the talent. I was watching that TV show, American Idol, and they were showing these auditions. The contestants think in thei...
Lea Salonga
I don`t show my face [in L.A.] very much, and so that makes it a bit more complicated for me in terms of work. They [producers] need to see you in the press, and in their face, in meetings, auditions, whatever. And as far as they`re concerned, I haven`t p...
Gillian Anderson
I have dreams, and sometimes you wonder how far you`ll go for those dreams, especially when the boundaries of work are very ill-defined. I walk out of some auditions thinking, `I can`t believe I just did that.`
Rachel Blanchard
You might look at my CV and see I`ve had 12 jobs, but I`ve been to over 450 auditions so I`ve heard `no` a lot more than I`ve heard `yes`. So if I go in looking only to meet my own standards, then that will make taking that rejection a little bit easier. ...
Wentworth Miller
(On what happened when she started out in the film business) "When I used to go to auditions, I would be told "If Winona Ryder doesn`t get it, you will". Hollywood makes so many movies - surely Winona can`t do ALL of them!"
Lara Boyle
Before this, I never cared about a movie enough to really try very hard to get it. I usually go through the audition process just to please my agents, and I`ve blown a ton of auditions on purpose just because the movies were shit. But Storytelling" was co...
Leo Fitzpatrick
I had to test, the whole rigmarole, but it was one of the greatest auditions I ever had. I left the building knowing I had this. (Regarding her audition for "Desperate Housewives" (2004)).
Teri Hatcher
We have an opening for concertmaster, and we weren`t able to find anybody in the last set of auditions. Would you be interested in coming and sitting with us for a month?
Zubin Mehta
The nice thing is that, at least in Los Angeles, I`m known as a character actor and I do auditions for other things besides just cartoon shows.
Dan Castellaneta
The hardest part was when I was in high school not having a job and always being broke. I had to get to auditions without a car. I either took the bus or walked.
Cuba Gooding, Jr.
Nervousness I don`t think had anything to do with it, because I had been acting for a while, so I was used to going on auditions for major roles, playing other people, ... It was just another audition, but ... I seemed to connect with the character more t...
Tyler James
My oldest step-son wants to direct or produce. As far as being an actor, I`ve already told them they have to wait until they`re 18; I won`t take them to auditions.
Elizabeth Perkins
My agent told me they were casting for the voice of Gollum. I hadn`t read The Lord of the Rings, but I read the script and realized what an amazing role it was. I developed a voice for the audition tape, then met Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh at the auditi...
Andy Serkis
