#8: That’s Hollywood For You
This interview story from the world of aspiring actors takes an absurd twist. The storyteller, an aspiring actor, has undergone numerous auditions but encountered a particularly bizarre experience during one audition. He auditioned for a role as an Irish character from Ireland, which seemed fitting given that he is, indeed, an Irish man from Ireland.
However, things turned unexpectedly when he was told to perform the character with “no accent.” Perplexed by the request, as everyone has an accent of some sort, he improvised by using an American accent. Unfortunately, this choice didn’t align with the casting director’s vision, resulting in him not getting the role. The entire situation appears rather absurd, as it’s challenging to understand what “no accent” truly means, leaving the actor bewildered by the outcome.
