“I’M SORRY, DASH,” my agent said over the Bluetooth speaker in my
car. “You didn’t get the part.”
“They said no?” I asked in disbelief as my SUV inched forward in L.A.
traffic. I’d been so sure last week’s audition would finally be a yes. “But it
went so well. I thought they really liked me.”
“They did, darling.” Izzie’s tone was soothing. “But they ended up
going with a name.”
“I have a name,” I argued.

“Of course you do,” Izzie assured me, because it was her job. “But so
far, the only thing your name is associated with is playing Bulge on Malibu
Splash. We need to change that.”
I slumped in the driver’s seat as traffic came to a stop again. My agent
was right. For the last five years, I’d played the hot but one-dimensional
lifeguard on a beach show mostly popular with teenagers. Now that the
final season was over, I was eager to move on to meatier, more mature
roles. But despite the fact that I was twenty-seven, I couldn’t get a single
casting director to see me as a leading man in a big-budget film.
Out the driver’s side window, I saw a billboard for an upcoming spy
thriller, the kind of movie I’d give my right arm to be in. “I told you my
friend Mike got seen for the next Katherine Carroll project, didn’t I? The
wartime drama called All We’ve Lost?”
“Yes, Dashiel. You told me.” Judging by my agent’s tone, I might have
mentioned it multiple times.
But I couldn’t help it. Carroll was one of the top directors in the
industry, famous for her breathtaking visuals and heart-stopping action
sequences. And she often cast lesser-known actors in major roles because
she felt the audience’s lack of familiarity with them contributed to an
overall sense of unpredictability and tension.
At the moment, I was feeling pretty lesser known.
“I saw the script. The role of Johnny is perfect for me,” I told Izzie as
traffic began moving again. “A small-town guy who goes off to fight the
war, gets shot and captured, and falls in love with a nurse behind enemy
lines. She risks her life to help him escape, and then he risks his to go back
for her.”
“Sounds romantic.”
“I can do that kind of part, Izzie.” I easily imagined myself huddled in a
trench, nothing to my name but a rifle, a tattered love letter, and the will to
survive. “Can you get me an audition?”
Izzie sighed. “You always get the same feedback after reading for those
kinds of roles, Dash. They like you, but your work lacks emotional depth.”
The familiar words stung. “I’m working on it, okay? I’m going to sign
up for some coaching with that method acting guy.”
“But method acting is about mining your life experiences for strong
emotions. You need to connect more to your own feelings.”
“My own feelings are irrelevant,” I insisted. “It’s about the character.”
“You can’t convey the full range of a character’s emotional pain when
you refuse to explore your own.”
