For many actors, the test for some doubtful roles is an inevitable part of trying to get a great break in Hollywood. During a recent interview with Jimmy Kimmeland Seth Rogin Remember one of his early tests that were unforgettable for all the wrong reasons.
During the conversation, Jimmy Seth asked if he was still testing projects, prompting the star and creator Studio To think about how the times are changed in this industry. “It has been a long time,” said Seth. “Thank God, the VHS tapes were mostly physical and things that were used when I was checking for things, because the things I tested, in the past, if there is in the world, it will finish my career very quickly, I think.”
Jimmy Seth encouraged giving one example, and obligated the actor, remembering the time that he “tested for this boy with cognitive disability” in the 2003 movie, LiliesWho starred Ben Affleck And Jennifer Lopez.
As you know, Lilies He was criticized for several reasons, not the least of her scheme, which followed the personality of Ben, a killer named Larry, and is appointed to kidnap a person who suffers from a mental disability. Ultimately, the role moved to Justin Barthha, and it was too late, Seth recalled that the scenario was not “written in what will be, according to today’s standards, the most sensitive photography of a boy with cognitive disabilities.”
If we look back in his fateful test, Seth said he wanted to “leave an impression” as an ambitious young actor. “I don’t think I wore a helmet in the same test, but she was playing,” he said. “And I tend to do the impression of what I did, but I can’t even do it. I can’t do it! This is how bad it is! It is very bad. I do not dare photograph what I did in this test.”
“I went for that. I saw myself at the Academy Awards ceremony,” and continued, while Jimmy laughed very much so that he could barely speak. “Honestly, if this tape is in the world today, this will be the last interview I have ever seen. Other than the apology round, please, if you have, burn it. Please sell it to me. I will buy it from you.”
I think we can safely say that the lost Seth in this role was not a great loss of his professional life. The film was a decisive and commercial fluctuation, as it only made a profit 7.2 million dollars worldwide. Today, it may be better to remember it as the movie that ignited the love story J.LO and Ben that includes a decade.
In 2022, Ben Ali was reflected LiliesAn unfortunate legacy as a “disaster” Entertainment weekly: “It was a movie that did not succeed … the funny name, Jennifer Lopez Romance, and excessive exposure to that, it was a kind of perfect storm. I remember I am talking to Marty (Brest, director) on Friday that came out, and I was like, he’s amazing, it’s Tsunami, it could not be worse.
