only knew and admired his films. heard he was to film in Pittsburgh, and
called the casting people who told me there wasn't anything in it for me. I
said I really would like to try out for anything, no matter how small a
part, and my audition was the scene where the woman opens the door, answers
the question about airconditioning and (SPOILERS) dies of a hockey stick to
the gut. I practiced and practiced dying by hockey-stick. At the audition,
Kevin and Scott put me immediately at ease, and I attempted to die
convincingly for them. I then left the auditionroom (clumsily mumbling that
if I wasn't right for this, I hoped they would keep me in mind for the
repertory company). Back I went to NYC. There I found a message on my
answering machine saying that they were looking for me, and where was I?
Back I went to Pittsburgh, where I was told that there was also a nun I
might could play, and which one did I feel most right for? I chose the nun,
seeing that she had a scene with Loki (whom I assumed would be played by
Ben Affleck, with Matt Damon as Bartleby) in part because I wanted to thank
Affleck for a message that was in his film, Goodwill Hunting. I was wrong
about the casting, and thus I got to thank Matt Damon. He had about 40
lines to my 3, and was a very good sport as I babbled on....which I am
doing now. This is a perfect illustration of T.M.I. (too much information)
as has been said: ask her what time it is, she'll tell you how to make a
swiss watch.
