The Importance of Memorization in Acting

I don't think the ages would have lined up. The casting director told me that he wanted to claw his eyes out. I auditioned for Frazier. Early on in the run and the casting director said it was horrible. He should have read for Michael Scott. Man, but we're good. Yeah. Can you imagine? She said. "I auditioned for Michael Scott for Kathy Bates's nephew on the office." And I got the very nice compliment when I was done of that was well memorized. One of the things that you're really looking to hear post audition was that was that well memorized and that's what I got.
