Castings are really hard. From waiting, to learning your lines and then performing excellent in that exact moment as well as liking the producing companies. That might be the reason why the actors that make it to Hollywood, get superb salaries.
Jennifer Lawrence wanted to be on "Gossip Girl". Josh Schwartz, the show creator, found out years later. Apparently, she wasn't good enough for the role and Blake Lively got the part in the TV series that was 6 years on air.
Oscar winner Mahershala Ali wasn't really famous when he auditioned for the role of Xaro Daxos on "Game of Thrones" and when he was invited on Jimmy Kimmel’s Late Night Show he told the story about how that was his worst performance in his entire life. "I was really prepared to act from a chair and when I got to HBO offices, they had only a bank and I felt totally uncomfortable".
