“I was in school, but I wasn't into school. I wasn't doing what I wanted to be doing in school, which was film studies. That was what I intended on doing, but I didn't go away to a university because I wanted to stay in L.A. and audition while I took classes, so I elected to go to a community college and just take G.E. courses. It was terrible.” WantedSchoolFilmCoursesCommunityClassStudyCollegeTerribleUniversityGoing AwayAuditionsCommunity College Author:Dylan O'Brien
“I was a football player at college and dislocated my thumb. I was out for a bit and passed the theatre and saw some lovely drama students walking into an audition for 'Much Ado About Nothing' and thought: 'That's what I'll do when I recover.'

“I am a man who used to wear the tights. We traveled the country doing two Shakespeare plays for bored college students for about a year. I think I'd probably still be doing it now if I hadn't just randomly decided to go to a sketch group audition. That led to doing improv, which led to the Daily Show. But it was fun while it lasted.” IfsThinkingMenYearsStillsTwoCountryPlayShowsUsedFunGroupsStudentsCollegeDecidedBoredTraveledAuditionsCollege StudentsTightsDaily ShowShakespeare Play Author:Rob Corddry
“As far as the fashion of mod 60's goes...I've always loved it. I bought a mod dress while still in college for an audition I had for Marsha Brady in The Brady Bunch Movie. It may have been a little too mod for the American 60's, but I think it worked just fine. I ended up wearing it a lot and it became one of my favorite pieces.” ThinkingMayLittlesHas BeensStillsPiecesFashionCollegeFineDressesMy FavoriteBunchAuditionsBradyModsBrady Bunch Author:Erica Schroeder
“I was homeschooled until I was 14, and then when I was 14, I began attending college. Mom was not playing about that education. She always said, "Acting is a privilege not a priority. Education is the priority. If you're not bringing home As and Bs, you can't go on the audition."” IfsSaidHomeActingCollegeMomGoes OnPrivilegePrioritiesAuditionsAttending Author:Aldis Hodge
“I grew up doing theater when I was very young - always enjoyed it. Studied it in college, got my degree in it, and never really had the guts to do it professionally. But one summer, a friend of mine was with an extras agency and asked me if I wanted to be an extra with him in a movie, and I was, like, "Sure." At lunch, the writer came up to me and asked me to audition for a role. I got it, and it sort of snowballed from there.” IfsWantedYoungRolesMinesCollegeGrewDegreesSummerGrew UpTheaterEnjoyedAgencyExtrasGutsLunchAuditions Author:Italia Ricci
“I was terrified of graduating college and not knowing what I was going to do. I saw the auditions for Idol and thought, Why not? I always liked to sing.
