Andrew Levitas

I went and visited a friend on a soap.

They were casting a boyfriend for her.

And we were young, you know, in like late teens.

I was growing up in New York.

And I remember the producers being like, are you an actor?

And I was like, yeah.

And I acted on, you know, I'd acted on school plays and that kind of stuff.

But I wasn't like, I was like, yeah, whatever.

And then I go like, you know, here are the sides.

Like, do you want to take it home?

I was like, oh, let's go now.

It's fine.

No stress.

And I read it and I got that.

And I did however many episodes of that soap opera.

And it was funny and fun and easy.

And then I like went on one show.

audition in New York just because it came out of, maybe it was the same casting people or something.

And I ended up flying to LA to screen test, which I didn't even know what that was at the time, on a series for the WB, which had just started.

And they couldn't find their, you know, tough Italian guy, which like I wasn't tough or Italian, by the way, but there's a little typecasting that really went on over the years.
