Do you check out IMDbPro before an audition? Any fun audition stories?
Fionn O'Shea: I always check IMDbPro before an audition because I think it’s a brilliant way to learn more about the casting directors, writers, directors, or producers you’ll be meeting—what they’ve worked on previously and whether or not you’ve worked with some of the same people. One of my favourite auditions was meeting Lenny Abrahamson for Normal People. Lenny has always been a hero of mine, and it was so surreal getting the opportunity to read for him. I felt incredibly lucky to be able to audition and it was a dream come true to play Jamie in the show.
