Rico Rodriguez: 我参加《摩登家庭》试镜时，对Manny的理解与最终呈现的角色截然不同。最初，我将Manny演绎成一个花花公子，一个自以为是的酷小孩，这与我们今天所知的角色完全相反。然而，Jeff Greenberg喜欢我的表演，但他认为Manny应该是一个老灵魂，就像安东尼奥·班德拉斯在儿童的身体里。我接受了他的建议，并在第二次试镜时表现出色，最终获得了这个角色。这个经历让我明白，演员需要灵活地调整自己的表演，以符合导演和剧组的期望。 Jesse: 听到你对Manny角色的最初理解与最终呈现的角色截然不同，这真是太有趣了。这表明了选角过程的复杂性，以及导演和剧组如何共同塑造一个角色。你能够接受Jeff Greenberg的建议并成功地调整你的表演，这证明了你作为演员的适应性和才华。这个故事也突出了选角导演在塑造一个角色方面所扮演的重要角色。
