First professional job: I did a promotional commercial for Hilary Duff’s film “Raise Your Voice” when I was 16. It was before I’d even had representation. A friend took me on an audition with him. I booked it, and he didn’t.
Audition horror stories: I’ve been in the room where I was so rushed by a casting director that they turned off the camera before I was even done with my audition.
