if she will have a hard time getting work because of her size. (She's 5'2".)
Lori: No, acting is exactly the opposite of modeling. There are so many short actors and actresses. Robery Downey Jr. is only about 2 inches taller than me. And Tom Cruise, and Michael J. Fox, and tons of others.
Will: All of my friends that have seen Lucy Liu say how short she is and how tiny.
Now Lori is telling about how she did a commercial for some men's skin care line where she threw the bottle. And then the guy chases her and catches her and picks her up and kisses her.
She was so embarrassed--it was the first thing she ever did in LA.
Will: Was the guy cute?
Lori: Yeah, I think he knew someone and that's how he got the job.
Will: But was he cute?
Lori: Yeah, he was all right.
Will asks her about the auditions. There were at least 2 days of 100 girls each. That's on her "reel". She also did an American Eagle spot--9 different girls did it. She thought it was going to be a commercial but it is a video that they show in the store.
They had to pretend they were at a football game and jump up and down. She got paid a "crap load" because there was overtime.
Will: Was everybody really cute?
Lori: We all looked totally different. A tall Asian girl, a beach-type boy, a good looking black guy, some twins (!).
She doesn't like their clothes, but she got them free.
Will asks about her "reel". It's clips of work she has done, like a modeling book but on film.
Will is obviously interested in coming out to CA to get some work. |
