Katy O’Brian,Film,Role

Katy O’Brian bypassed traditional methods and landed a role in a film by tweeting her photo and stating that she was available. Her bold move paid off as she was cast as Jackie, an '80s-era bodybuilder, after impressing the film's director and lead actor during auditions.

Under her belt, Katy O’Brian was perfectly familiar with all the usual steps for landing roles: read the script sent by your agent, prep for an audition, and wait patiently as you hope that the filmmakers choose you out of thousands of other candidates.

But when, in early 2022, she saw on Twitter that the team behind the upcoming [film name] was looking for its leading actor, O’Brian decided to forgo the rules and take matters into her own hands, by tweeting a photo of herself along with the words, “I’m free” in response. It was a bold move—but it paid off, with O’Brian landing the part of Jackie, an ’80s-era bodybuilder who falls for [character name]. Of course, it wasn’t that simple; although her tweet caught substantial attention, O’Brian still had to actually audition for the film and impress both Stewart and director Rose Glass. (To help her case, the 35-year-old actress put together a PowerPoint outlining the reasons she was right for the part, including the convenient fact that she’s an experienced bodybuilder herself who’s competed in multiple competitions). All these elements obviously made a difference
