70thousandlightyearsfromhome:Audition StoryNikki de Boer told the story of her audition for the part
70thousandlightyearsfromhome:Audition StoryNikki de Boer told the story of her audition for the part of Ezri at Northeast Trek Con yesterday, and it gets my vote for the funniest audition story I ever heard. I was crying.She had arrived at the studio offices for her audition. She was already a little nervous; she says she’s often nervous for auditions. Then she sees this long, long leg with a killer high heel emerge from a car. Followed by another one. Boom, boom, high heels hitting the ground. They’re Jeri Ryan’s legs. She gets out of the car and stands up - in full Seven of Nine getup. (The first two pics are Garrett and Nikki imitating Jeri’s long legs stepping out of the car, high heels hitting the pavement: boom, boom. The last one is Nikki imitating the visual impact of Jeri’s boobs - BOOM.)Nikki said she immediately became a wreck. What am I doing here? That’s what they want, not me. I’m not the Trek type. Etc.So they brought her upstairs to audition for Berman. She was so visibly anxious that someone offered her a bottle of water. She took a gulp as she walked into Berman’s office. It went down the wrong way, and she ended up spitting water all over him. They sent her to the bathroom to get herself together, and she saw in the mirror that she was coughing so much her mascara ran. But she cleaned herself up, went back out, had her audition, and got the part. She said she thought it might have actually helped her audition, because it kind of fit Ezri’s character. -- source link
