Actors: You Did The Work... And Still Didn't Get Asked Back

The rejection you didn't see coming.
What happens when you help build a project… and then the project moves forward without you?
In this LIVE episode of The Working Actor NYC podcast, Benjamin and Patrick dig into one of the most painful — and least discussed — experiences actors face: being part of the reading, workshop, lab, or regional production… and then not being invited back.
Benjamin shares his recent experience of being dropped from a Broadway-bound project, and members of the acting community share their own stories of rejection, replacement, heartbreak, resilience, and recovery.
This episode includes:
• stories from actors who helped build shows and were later replaced
• conversations about self-worth and rejection in the acting industry
• thoughts on how actors recover emotionally and professionally
• field reports from NYC casting offices and the theater community
• a discussion about series regular auditions, managers, and “moving up the ladder” in TV
Featuring stories and perspectives from:
