Hello, Well, it wasnt to me, but it did affect me. a few weeks ago, I went to a commercial audition and while waiting, the CD paired us all. Well, to my luck I was paired with a girl who earlier han taken the parking space of one of the CDs  (Although I think it was done on purpose) Why? maybe he didn't like my look, I don't know. Anyways, when we got called in, the CD greeted us and said to the girl, "no, no, what u did outside was not nice, that was my boss, oh boy, no, no, no) and I said to myself "Oh sht! no, no, no this doesn't sound good, oh boy" and I think my auditin got ruined.  Well, needless to say, I didn't get a call back. I thought of asking the CD to let me audition with someone else, but anyways, he had made read the guys part, claiming he was told to do it like that. My agent has given me the girl's side, which I had memorized, but the CD made me read the guy's sides. Has that ever happened to you? |

I have a client who is mixed ethnicity. When she auditioned at a very famous theater company, the casting director said to her - " Well, you're a pretty little mutt, aren't you"Yikes!

Well...here's mine: "You're too dark, we need someone lightskinned who ACTS black". "You look like Wesley Snipes"-I'm getting tired of that.

Luckily, I never had anyone say anything that terrible to me. I was told to leave a very famous casting directors on camera commercial call because I looked too young, they wanted someone 20s. Huh? I was 25 at the time. That same week i auditioned for the avo of the same commercial and got a callback..lol.

How about, "What the Hell are you? We didn't ask for Jewish, we asked for white." I'm Italian and Scottish, and an ordained minister. Oy! 
Best regards,
Joe

This is hilarious! I do have to admit though, you DO have a little "chutzpah" in your look.  |

Sure, Avidactor, guilty as charged. The funny thing is, I've worked on four productions of 'Fiddler on the Roof' and none of them had a Jewish Tevye. This is a puzzling business...
Best regards,
