And I was like, I'm an actor.

I would, you know...

And Jenji, to her credit, said, I don't want to re-traumatize you.

And I was like, no, I'm an actor.

I can do it.

And so they weren't convinced.

So we did a hair and makeup test for the character throughout her transition.

And at the end of the day, we got to the buttest of the looks.

And I remember, like, you know, they put a fake mustache on me.

I mean, I can't grow facial hair or anything, obviously.

And I went to Jodi.

She was in a meeting.

And I, like, really, you know, I was like, you know.

And she looked at me and she was like, we're going to have to hire someone.

Yeah.

So then they started bringing in these very butch black male actors and they would stand next to me and take a photo.

And then I was like, why don't you just do an audition?

And then asked my brother if he'd be open to it.

And he said, how much does it pay?

And then he ended up going in for the audition.
