Jesse Tyler Ferguson: 我和Michael Urie虽然没有合作过,但我们的职业生涯有着奇妙的交集,这让我们建立了独特的联系,我很欣赏他的才华和职业道路。 我们都曾在洛杉矶这个城市打拼,也都有着丰富的戏剧表演经验,虽然没有合作过,但彼此的职业发展轨迹却有着千丝万缕的联系,这是一种很特别的缘分。 我们都曾获得过一些角色提名,并且在彼此的职业生涯中都扮演着重要的角色,虽然没有直接合作过,但这种间接的联系也让我们建立了深厚的友谊。 Michael Urie: 我在《丑女贝蒂》试镜时,最初只被认为是客串演员,但Vanessa Williams的力挺让我最终成为常驻演员,这改变了我的职业生涯。 起初,我的报酬非常低,甚至在剧集的前13集中,我的报酬只有3000美元,这让我感到很无奈。 然而,我的角色在剧中非常重要,我既是贝蒂的对手,也是Vanessa Williams角色的助手,这让我在剧中拥有了大量的戏份。 在最终试镜时,朋友建议我穿西装,这改变了试镜结果,让我最终获得了这个角色。 在《丑女贝蒂》之后,我迅速回归舞台剧,并取得了巨大的成功,这让我在演艺事业上更加游刃有余。 我最初想成为电影导演,但茱莉亚学院的学习让我专注于戏剧表演,之后电视机会反而更多。 在早期电视试镜中,我从未获得过回调机会,这让我对电视行业充满了挑战。 Jimmy Burrows 因为其父亲创作了该剧,所以否决了我出演《你如何成功》的决定,这让我感到非常沮丧。 与Harrison Ford合作非常棒,他热爱表演,并以独特的方式对待每一个场景,这让我受益匪浅。
