Coin Toss

Sometime last year, I was working on a project and one of the execs came up and started complimenting my work.

Ego boost in effect, we kept chatting, and he finally said: "We're so lucky we got you, especially since it came down to a flip of a headshot."

Come again?

"A flip of a headshot. It was a dead heat between you and another actress, so we flipped headshots and whichever landed face up, got the part."

Here's my point with this story -- it doesn't matter how you got the part (unless of course you blew someone on a casting couch to get it....in that case my dear, you're a whore. sorry. it's true.) -- the point is, once you've gotten the part, embrace it.

You could've just been on the right side of a coin toss.
