2026 The Year of Being Bold

If you put yourself out there, I've cleared to myself, right?

2026 of the year, being old, I've had moments where I've just

gone, you know what, I'm going to e-mail my favourite casting

director. If they don't reply, they don't

reply. But at least I've tried.

And I remember there was this audition that I had and I really

wanted it. I hadn't heard back.

And so again, I just kind of assumed I hadn't got it.

Then I got a text saying they're pushing back the dates.

They're wondering if you're still free.

I'm thinking, OK, they still are interested in me.

I didn't hear anything and then got back to me and they were

like, oh, they haven't chosen anyone yet as they're still

casting for your role. They said that I did a really

good tape, saw that as a positive.

I mean, in my delusion, they haven't cast the role yet.

They said that my my tape was really, really good.

So I'm going to e-mail myself. Thank you so much for the

opportunity. Glad you enjoyed my tape.

And I heard you hadn't cast for it.

I'm wondering if there was an opportunity to tape again for

you because I just thought, why not?

If they say no, they say no, but I think I'd have beaten myself

up if I hadn't asked. They came back to me and they

said that they had ended up casting for the role, but they

really appreciated me emailing and really enjoyed my tape and

they'd keep me in mind for future opportunities.

So I did feel that's really kind of them to get back to me and

give me feedback and it gave me a bit of hope.
