Interviews | J August Richards
Too enthusiastic

Picture There�s a story about the early days of your career and stand-ins?

It was my first job in LA. They have something called a stand-in who rehearses your part for you while you�re in make-up and wardrobe and everything.

They stand there while they�re lighting the scene so that you don�t have to do that and you can be doing other things.

I didn�t know what this person was so we rehearsed it the first time. Then they were like "Okay, second team" so I went back to my mark to get ready and this guy was like "No no no, you don�t understand, I do it now" and I was like "No this is my part, I auditioned for this, this is my role" and so he said "All right" .

The director called "Action" and I walk out and they�re like "Cut cut cut, J, what are you doing? It�s time for the stand in" and I was like "Oh, I didn�t know."

Then they turned it into a positive. They said "Well let�s just give J a round of applause because he�s a team player". Isn�t that terrible? That�s so bad.
