![]() ![]() It makes us feel more validated that we got this job and they were looking for everyone else in the world. It’s also much more satisfying for us and it’s more flattering. So thank God they let some new kids, some new spaces…Īlexis Knapp: We were so fortunate, so fortunate. Usually as actors, we find that the name or the established person gets the job and we don’t even get the chance anymore. I’m glad that they were not only adamant about finding new people but were uninterested in the people that had done a lot which we are never running into that. Kirby Bliss Blanton: It’s a little strange but I also think it’s really unique. The online auditions they had, obviously you guys got some great people but what did you guys think about the nationwide talent search? I think working on it for such a long time obviously had its benefits because now that we’ve seen the finished product, even though we were completely anxious over the last two years and worried that it wasn’t even going to come out… it took a lot of time to make it perfect. Kirby Bliss Blanton: That was literally almost two years ago. So from there, they sent my tape to the producers and then they called me back to where I met Kirby it was like her 8th or 10 th call back or something like that. We’ve had million of call backs.” And they just kept pushing and pushing so then they agreed for Seth Yanklewitz to put me on tape – and he is a great casting director – tape for the producers. At first they were like, “No, we really already have all our choices. We were really lucky though.Īlexis, what was the audition process like for you?Īlexis Knapp: I just signed with CAA and I was like, “Alright it’s time to get serious and start the acting thing” and they knew about Project X and they requested to get me in. Alexis kind of came in on the end and swooped in and got a bunch of people pissed off with her because she had been through like one call back and everyone else had been through for like 12. I had gone in a bunch of times for this one character and then they decided they want me for another character. So, yeah, we both just kind of auditioned. Kirby Bliss Blanton: The real way, if you will, the legitimate way. Kirby Bliss Blanton: Yeah, there was a talent search for non-actors but we kind of did it the other way. We just had our agents actually more involved.Īlexis Knapp: We came in the traditional way. Kirby Bliss Blanton: Alexis and I were kind of lucky. How did you guys get involved? What was the audition process like? They two talk about how they got their start, auditioning for the movie, some really bad auditions and Project X! She’ll soon be seen on MTV’s Inbetweeners.Īlexis will next be seen in in the comedy Pitch Perfect, starring opposite Anna Kendrick and Brittany Snow as well as So Undercover, starring opposite Miley Cyrus.
