Seth Yanklewitz: 我经常在教年轻演员或大学毕业班时分享Hannah的故事,以此来说明选角导演会记住演员。我和Jewel Bestrop在为NBC做一个试播集,叫做《Nevermind Nirvana》,我立刻就喜欢上了Hannah,我们让她参加了试镜,但不幸的是她没有成功。两年后,我得到了《新女孩》的试播集,其中有一个角色叫Cece,被写成一个高级时装模特。我试镜了很多被认为是高级时装的女孩,但没有人能胜任这个角色。在试镜过程中,我意识到没有一个女孩能在喜剧方面与我们正在构建的东西相提并论,我想起了Hannah。我记得Hannah是加拿大人,我联系了Gersh,他们说她正在国外拍摄。我建议把Cece改成一个商业模特,这样我就能推荐Hannah。Hannah做了一个自拍试镜,非常棒,我们想让她参加试镜。从那一刻起,这个角色几乎就是Hannah的了。我经常用Hannah的故事来告诉演员们,我们记得你们,并且希望你们能得到工作。 Hannah: 伟大的选角导演会记住演员,Seth就是这样的例子。Seth看到了我的潜力,他能看到我在主流美国演员阵容中。Seth能看到我可以融入角色,而不用考虑我的种族背景,这改变了我的生活。因为这件事,我总是说代表性很重要。Liz信任Seth,打开了那扇门,对我们在电视屏幕上看到的人产生了真正的多米诺骨牌效应。在与佐伊进行化学反应测试后,Seth打电话给我的经纪人,要求我梳头,穿上裙子,让自己看起来更可爱。Seth会给予演员指导和信息,这与其他经历非常不同。Seth会帮助演员们了解如何展示自己,以及一些不成文的规则。在试镜中,演员们就像在没有练习过的情况下被要求杂耍。Seth会帮助演员们学习如何杂耍,这样他们就能展示自己的才华。Seth不仅帮助了我,也帮助了整个演艺界。
