Behind The Spotlight Chapter 172
Mikael wiped his sweat as he waited for his audition. He was sitting in an uncomfortable plastic chair that somehow made his back hurt. He had applied to this agency because of its status as one of the best agencies in Hollywood... Well, actually, he had applied and sent his resume to many agencies, including ANT, hoping at least one would give him a chance.
So far, only ANT was the one that called him, which boosted his confidence slightly. Mikael was a friend of William Edward, who said that he could "insert" him into the agency. It seemed that rich William had connections in the company. However, Mikael wanted to prove himself first before asking for a favor. Hence, he applied to many agencies, wanting to feel that he earned it.
'Yet I can't believe that I'll still get a call from Apex Network Talent of all the companies,' he thought, gripping his trembling hands together.
He was not sure if William had an inkling regarding the situation, but he decided to call him later if he got accepted. He wanted to thank him nonetheless.
Actually, William didn't help. Apex Network Talent simply found Mikael's resume interesting and decided to invite him to audition.
Being called to audition, Mikael realized that he was halfway there, and he couldn't help feeling a spark of hope. He hoped that an agent would take an interest in him. That way, he could have a better start in Hollywood. Mikael actually applied for both the music and film departments, but only the film department called him, a sign that maybe acting was his true path.
Mikael had an attractive appearance and a rough yet pleasant voice, a combination people often complimented him for. He was part of a band back in college, but that team didn't last long for many reasons.
"I heard that Collin East is one of the panelists," someone whispered loudly enough for everyone to hear.
