That One Audition with Alyshia Ochse MARK PELLEGRINO: Let Your Subconscious Do the Work
Today we sit down with the incredible journeyman actor Mark Pellegrino, who after four decades in the business continues to embody what it means to be a true working actor. Mark shares unforgettable audition stories, including his famously bold move of performing a seven-page monologue that earned him one of the greatest compliments of his career and led to booking A Murder of Crows. He also recounts working with David Lynch, Joel Schumacher, and Philip Seymour Hoffman, while offering a candid look at his meticulous preparation process—whether it's reading a script 200 times, rewriting audition sides, or diving into deep research. Beyond craft, he reflects on navigating a post-strike industry and his latest projects, including playing Cousin Eddie in the upcoming Murdoch: Death in the Family series.
These are the unforgettable stories that landed Mark Pellegrino right here.
