  • A Bummer Nonetheless

    And so, oh my brothers and only friends, I have apparently been thrown off the My Fair Lady island.  Tom Orr wrote me to say he had been called back for a "final callback" and alas, I have not .  So I wish Tom good luck and I retire to heal my wounded ego.  I have to admit that I really both desired the role of Higgins and also believed I did a good job at the callbacks but, in the end, I don't get a vote. I do wish that I got a final rejection from the director. I know Tom was also perplexed. He auditioned over a month ago and just heard back yesterday. When I blogged that I had received a call back, Tom had already been called back I believe. This was obviously discouraging to him and consequently he probably figured he was out of the running; only to be contacted Monday. This is just not a respectful way to treat people. All of you directors take heed; giving people the courtesy that they are due, even actors, is only going to enhance your positive reputation and increase our desire to audition for you and work for you...fuckers.
