They just THINK that\u2019s what they want. And that\u2019s because last week an actor did all kinds of stuff in his audish that they hadn\u2019t seen before. And everyone loved it. It therefore makes sense that they would deduce that being different is the key to being better. But it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n<p>They do want you to be great. But while it might look to them like the great actors are doing something DIFFERENT from everyone else, they\u2019re actually just doing MORE. A lot more. They\u2019re going deeper. They\u2019re more specific. <\/p>\n<p>I heard \u201cgo deeper\u201d a lot when I was in drama school. And, like you, I did what I was told. I went freaking deeper. Into ME, MYSELF, my CHILDHOOD, my PAIN, my ANGUISH; I expressed allllllllllllllll of my agonizing FEEEEEEELINGS (mainly about my mother).<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leslykahn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Leslys-Mom.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"769\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/leslykahn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Leslys-Mom-769x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13471\" style=\"width:323px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leslykahn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Leslys-Mom-769x1024.jpg 769w, https:\/\/leslykahn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Leslys-Mom-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/leslykahn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Leslys-Mom-768x1022.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leslykahn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Leslys-Mom.jpg 821w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 769px) 100vw, 769px\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color\">Patricia Ann O\u2019Donnell Kahn<\/mark><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>ALLLL the time.

Do more of what the text is asking of you. Not just throw on some roller blades because they\u2019re \u201cdifferent,\u201d feel spiffy about your oh-so-creative self, and call it a day.<\/p>\n<p>To prove this point, I asked the internet to show me a story about an actor that did something weird\/inappropriate\/odd for a role in an audition just to be different, but ended up booking the job.<\/p>\n<p>Only ONE story came up. Can you believe it? One! This is it:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jenette Goldstein \u2014 <em>Aliens<\/em> (1986)<\/strong><br \/>\u201cJenette Goldstein, who played Vasquez in Aliens, turned up to casting thinking it was a movie about immigration. Bill Paxton\u2019s illegal alien comment within the movie was an inside joke.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leslykahn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Jenette-Goldstein-Aliens.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"468\" height=\"335\" src=\"https:\/\/leslykahn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Jenette-Goldstein-Aliens.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leslykahn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Jenette-Goldstein-Aliens.jpg 468w, https:\/\/leslykahn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Jenette-Goldstein-Aliens-300x215.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 468px) 100vw, 468px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>What Went Wrong:<\/strong><br \/>Actress Jenette Goldstein thought the sci-fi film <em>Aliens<\/em> was about illegal immigrants\u2014and walked into her audition <strong>in high heels, a miniskirt, and long hair<\/strong>, totally mismatched for the tough, trigger-happy space marine she was hoping to play, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.looper.com\/107979\/awful-auditions-still-got-actors-part\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">Looper<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why It Worked Anyway:<\/strong><br \/>Despite the bizarre wardrobe choice and misunderstanding of the film\u2019s premise, the producers noticed that Goldstein had <strong>incredible, ripped arms from recent bodybuilding<\/strong>, which conveyed exactly the physical toughness they needed for the role. They asked her to come back in something more appropriate \u2014 and ultimately cast her as <strong>Corporal Vasquez<\/strong>, one of the roughest marines in the squad <a href=\"https:\/\/www.looper.com\/107979\/awful-auditions-still-got-actors-part\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">Looper<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bonus \u2014 Character Easter Egg:<\/strong><br \/>In a nod to her hilarious misinterpretation of the assignment, the film includes a cheeky line where Hudson remarks that Vasquez is only on the mission because she thought they said <strong>\u201cillegal aliens\u201d<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.looper.com\/107979\/awful-auditions-still-got-actors-part\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">Looper<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But even THIS story is not about an actor who purposefully did something to be different. This was just a story about an actor who made a mistake and got lucky.<\/p>\n<p>I did however, find a zillion stories of actors who booked their roles because they were different, but those differences weren\u2019t haphazard. Their performances had more depth and specificity than others. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>\u00a0<strong>Robin Williams \u2013 Mork &amp; Mindy (1978)<br \/><\/strong><\/em><em>\u201cWilliams auditioned to play an alien. Instead of reading lines normally, he <strong>sat on his head in the chair and began speaking in bizarre voices<\/strong>. The casting team was floored by his strangeness\u2014and cast him instantly.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>But I don\u2019t think what he did was at all strange. The character was a freaking alien. In a comedy. Of COURSE he would do it on his head with odd voices! He just went further!<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong><em>Henry Thomas \u2013 E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)<br \/><\/em><\/strong><em>\u201cDuring his audition, Thomas was asked to improvise a scene where government agents were taking E.T. away. He <strong>burst into tears on the spot<\/strong>\u2014raw, unrestrained sobbing that shocked everyone in the room. Steven Spielberg immediately said, \u201cOkay, kid, you got the job.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Again, he did more. Went deeper.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong><em>Dustin Hoffman \u2013 The Graduate (1967)<br \/><\/em><\/strong><em>\u201cHoffman was so nervous in his audition for Benjamin Braddock that he kept <strong>fumbling his lines, sweating, and stammering.<\/strong> Instead of seeing him as a failure, director Mike Nichols realized his awkwardness was perfect for the anxious, uncertain young man the role required. Hoffman\u2019s nervous \u201cweirdness\u201d helped him book his career-defining role.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Yup. But he wasn\u2019t different ON PURPOSE. He didn\u2019t pull something strange out of his ass.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong><em>Hugh Jackman \u2013 X-Men (2000)<br \/><\/em><\/strong><em>\u201cDuring his screen test as Wolverine, Jackman decided to <strong>prowl around the room like a wild animal<\/strong> instead of standing still and reading. The casting team found it odd but magnetic\u2014it gave them the feral quality they were searching for.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Again, nothing weird here. The guy\u2019s name is freaking Wolverine! Why WOULDN\u2019T he \u201cprowl around the room like a wild animal\u201d!? He\u2019d be crazy NOT to!<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong><em>Sylvester Stallone \u2013 Rocky<br \/><\/em><\/strong><em>\u201cStallone auditioned for other roles before Rocky and often came across as <strong>mumbling, unpolished, and even disrespectful<\/strong> to casting directors. When he pitched Rocky, producers initially just wanted to buy his script for someone else. He flat-out refused, which could have ruined his chances. Instead, his stubbornness impressed them enough to cast him in the role he \u201cshouldn\u2019t\u201d have gotten.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Again, he didn\u2019t TRY to do something unusual. He just happened to be perfect for the role he wrote for himself. Hmmmm. (I hope you\u2019re getting an idea.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong><em>Jennifer Lawrence \u2013 Winter\u2019s Bone<br \/><\/em><\/strong><em>\u201cShe auditioned looking <strong>completely disheveled<\/strong>\u2014frizzy hair, no makeup, and intentionally dirty clothes. One casting director later admitted they thought she\u2019d taken \u201cmethod\u201d too far and looked almost homeless. But her raw, inappropriate boldness was so authentic that she got the part and earned her first Oscar nomination.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Spare me. The internet wrote, \u201cJennifer Lawrence was\u00a0originally turned down for the role of Ree for being \u201ctoo pretty.\u201d\u00a0She flew overnight into New York City, walked 13 blocks in the sleet to the casting office, and auditioned with a runny nose and hair she hadn\u2019t washed in a week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Had she not read the script prior to her first audition? What on EARTH compelled her to go to the first audition looking \u201cpretty?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong><em>Ed O\u2019Neill \u2013 Married\u2026 with Children<br \/><\/em><\/strong><em style=\"font-size: revert; color: initial;\">\u201cIn his audition, instead of delivering the lines with energy, O\u2019Neill walked into the room, <strong>sighed deeply, slouched on the couch, and looked utterly defeated.<\/strong> The producers thought he wasn\u2019t even trying\u2026 then realized that was exactly who Al Bundy was. His \u201clazy, wrong choice\u201d got him the job.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Yet AGAIN, he didn\u2019t do anything untoward or inappropriate. He was THE GUY.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong><em>Bryan Cranston \u2013 Breaking Bad (2008)<br \/><\/em><\/strong><em>\u201cFor his audition as Walter White, Cranston leaned into an odd choice: he played Walt as if he were <strong>already broken, half-dead inside.<\/strong> The producers originally thought he was too \u201cdark,\u201d but Vince Gilligan argued his weird, unsettling vibe was exactly what the show needed. That \u201coff\u201d energy booked him the role.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Cranston wasn\u2019t thinking, \u201cOoooh, I have to be different, I\u2019ll play it dark.\u201d He recognized that he was coming off a light, comedic role in MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE, saw that could hurt his chances, looked at the character, saw his pain and played what he perceived to be that person\u2019s truth.<\/p>\n<p>I read this quote: \u201cActors who \u201cget weird\u201d often stick in casting directors\u2019 minds because they show boldness, truth, or unpredictability.\u201d \u00a0Maybe. But I would guess most of the time they \u201cstick in casting directors\u2019 minds\u201d for reasons far less lofty.<\/p>\n<p>I was discussing this issue with the brilliant Brian Stepanek (actor, director, writer, coach, father and teacher extraordinairre \u2013 you know him from THE SUITE LIFE OF ZACK AND CODY, everything LOUD HOUSE, TRANSFORMERS, YOUNG SHELDON, NICKY, RICKY, DICKY &amp; DAWN, and so much more) and he told me a couple personal stories.<\/p>\n<p>When he went to read for THE SUITE LIFE OF ZACK &amp; CODY, they were seeking an overweight, bearded Hagrid type, which Brian is NOT. When he walked in the room (in those days, actors actually WALKED INTO ROOMS! Can you believe it????!!!!), ten Hagrids were sitting there. Brian said, \u201cI was like, \u2018Why am I here? I\u2019m not right for this! Does that guy use conditioner?\u2019 You know what, I\u2019m not going to try to be a lumbering oaf. I\u2019m not good at that. And no one will buy me as that. So I made him a savant. And did crazy stuff.\u201d Brian got a callback. The writers looked at each other and went, \u201cCan we do that?\u201d Because it was such a departure. And that\u2019s how he booked Arwin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBrian!\u201d I exclaimed. \u201cThat is not a story of someone who did something weird just to be different! You were accurate to the text! You did what you could do to do the job! What else were you gonna do? Wear a fat suit?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chagrined, Brian said, \u201cWait! I have another story! I was in Chicago and went in to read for a Ralph\u2019s commercial. They wanted someone to play a hockey player. And I was like, \u2018I\u2019m not a hockey player!\u2019 They said they wanted a guy who believably looked like he could have had all his teeth knocked out because it was a Ralph\u2019s spot, the gist of which was that they wanted people who never smile, who DO smile when they hear how great the deals are going to be at Ralph\u2019s. And I thought to myself, you know what? Nobody is ever going to believe I\u2019m a hockey player, but I\u2019m great at Secret Service agents, and they don\u2019t smile! I\u2019ll do that!\u201d He told me that he walked in looking crisp in a suit. Looking at him quizzically, they said, \u201cAre you here for the toothless hockey player?\u2019 He didn\u2019t say a word. He just put on some sunglasses and an ear bud, barely moved his lips and said, \u201cI\u2019m secret service.\u201d And booked it.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><span data-teams=\"true\">So please don\u2019t SEEK to be different.
