Expand commentI won't. I may not have much work under my belt thus far but I want to be cast by the effort I put into an audition & the realism I hope to put into a character or how I fit what they look for.. not for how much I paid them. Someone once told me "never pay to be in a film.Be hired for you." A director/producer can cast me for me.. but I won't beg.
