Let's move on to the real reason I called you. Were you aware of the series? Did they approach you, or was this something your agent put together?

It was kind of a combination. I was definitely aware of the show, though I didn't really know anything about the characters. It was all set up through my representation. The timing was kind of funny, because they called me in late December or early January, and I couldn't attend. So for all practical purposes I thought the chance had passed. But then a couple weeks passed and they still hadn't found anyone, so they called for me again and this time I was able to go.

It was hilarious, because the casting director had said, "They definitely want to see Adrienne, but they're concerned that she might be too old." I remember my agent thinking that they must be thinking of the wrong person, because the role was for twenty-five and I'm twenty-two. I always play younger - this is the first time I've played older.

My agent's like, "I think you have the wrong person." And the casting director said, "I'm not sure, I remember her, I love her, but I thought she was older." So I showed up and she looked at me and was like, "Oh my god. You're the one." I'm sure it was out of frustration because she had been looking for a while.

That's actually somewhat surprising that they'd think you were too old.

I was totally surprised when they said that.

So you got the part, after extensive trials I'm sure.

[Laughs] There were a few.

And then they sent you the first script. What was your reaction after reading it?

Complete and total shock. The sides that I read - the excerpts from the script I auditioned with - it was only two scenes.
