While not known here, he is certainly not unknown to the casting directors and/or the producers and creative team, and his pedigree would make an "audition" unexpected (and in many cases turned down by an agent). Typically there would be a "meeting" but not a performance. I would compare it to Jonathan Groff in reverse, or similar to Gavin Creel. |
