So I go in to this manager's office and he would, he told me, he was like, all right, what are your credits?
I'm like, I don't know.
I was like the tree in a second grade play.
Like I don't have credits.
And he was like, okay, go prepare two monologues, one serious, one comedic.
Come back and do it for me.
I'm like, what's a monologue?
He was like, go to the store on Sunset Boulevard.
It's called Samuel French.
They'll help you out.
I was like, all right.
So I go get my little monologues prepared, go back.
I perform it for him.
He takes me on as a client.
I start auditioning immediately.
And every room I go to, you know, I was so green.
And people would be like, how long have you been acting?
Because I didn't even know to memorize shit.
Like I was awful, awful.
And I just wasn't prepared.
