Description

Before booking recurring roles on Criminal Minds and The Rookie, Jon Snow spent hours in the audition room as a reader for a casting director.

In this episode, Jon shares what that experience taught him—why the actor who’s most present often stands out, how over-rehearsing can kill a moment, and the small shifts that can make a performance land. He also pulls back the curtain on what casting is actually paying attention to, the choices that quietly take you out of the running, and how shifting his perspective changed everything about the way he auditions.
