AND my first summer job was as a janitor/maintenance man cleaning toilets on the set of X-Files so I could know what it’s like to be inside of 555 Brooksbank.

At age 12 – wrote a letter to Mickey Mouse Club and sent in a VHS of me singing

I taught at Hillside High School for over thirty years. I never had any children.

Craziest audition still remains one of my first. I was in my 20s and tagged along with a friends, who was a singer, to a musical audition.  Did the audition for a lark.

Well there was one time I did a monologue which was a woman threatening to bash in a cat’s brain. Turns out it was at the house of a woman who had about a thousand cats.

I had to mime competitive snowshoeing once with no heads up prior to walking into the casting room. Who knew there was even a thing? – submitted by Randall Barkman

For a student film, the director gave me the sides when I arrived. I asked who was reading with me in the scene and that confused him.

I auditioned for a seedy production company that was doing an underarm deodorant commercial. The director asked me to take my top off.

I once crashed an audition for the Wizard of Oz and was wondering why I was towering over everyone.
