Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Allison Jones (Award-Winning Casting Director)

We all have our favorites based on how we perceive the talent and how they can deliver and how they haven't been given a shot to do it yet. I'll read something and think, oh, this is perfect for Monica Padman or this is perfect for Rory Scovel or something. And they haven't been given that huge shot yet. Yeah.

It's heartbreaking because my job then is to talk the director into it and to show them stuff or another audition where they've done it. Sometimes it works and sometimes it just doesn't. People will listen to you and then people won't listen to you.

They don't have any of the environment. They don't have the other actors. There's the reverse. There are people who are great auditioners who then on the set, you don't get anything more from them.

He has never given a bad performance. He's always almost better than some of the movies he's in. Killers of the Flower Moon. Any other actor in that part would have been like they were doing a role from a sketch in Hootenanny. You know, it was like, are you kidding me? He was heartbreakingly good in that role. And he was so over the top.

And the version of that in comedy is like Steve Carell as Michael Scott. So over the top, but still unbelievably real and good. You gotta be a genius to pull those off.
