I auditioned for a Lexus “December to Remember” commercial a couple months ago – cute wife and daughters hide the novelty-size gift bow from nutty dad – and felt good about it. Then I received an email from my agent and I felt great about it: Lexus wanted to know if my passport was up to date. I was one of the final two choices to play the dad, and the commercial was shooting somewhere that had snow in August.
Then the phone never rang so I assumed it was never them. The commercial came out great, except I’m not in it. And it’ll run a cajillion times for the next couple months. Easy come, difficult go.
