Have you ever had to go above and beyond in a job interview? Did the interviewer surprise you with a written quiz or a task to complete to prove that you're the person for the job? It's garbage, right? They have your resume, you're in the room talking to them, now they want you to work for free? It happens often. Way too often. Same with actors.
Usually auditions are fairly straightforward: learn your lines, show up on time, read and act with the reader and casting director, say thank you, and then leave to worry about whether your life will change forever or you'll have to worry about rent for this month. However, some of your favorite actors were forced to more than that to obtain their most iconic roles on film or on television.
