Milo Manheim just revealed two HUGE shows he could’ve been in, and wowowowow, my brain is exploding.
During his recent puppy interview, Milo sat down with BuzzFeed to answer a bunch of questions while, ya know, he played with puppies. And when asked which roles people would be surprised to hear he auditioned for, he delivered.
“I think people would be surprised to know that I was auditioning for Lyle Menendez [in Monsters: The Erik and Lyle Menendez Story],” he told BuzzFeed.
“It was gonna be a cool opportunity,” he added. “It sucks when you really want something, and you don’t get it.” The role ultimately ended up going to Cooper Koch.
Then, later on in the interview, he admitted that his favorite show right now is Severance AND that he auditioned for that too. “I did get an audition for a character on Severance too,” he said. “I also had a little sneak peek of what the story was gonna be [during] Season 2, which is one of the best parts about being an actor.”
“I actually auditioned for that Italian dude [Dario]. He’s in one episode,” he revealed. “Who they cast was perfect. He looked great, and the show was great.” That role ended up going to Stefano Carannante.
“When I was just starting this out, it’s hard not to take things personally,” he explained, talking about other roles he auditioned for but didn’t get. “The more you do this, the more you realize, like, it’s just a team of people with a vision, and you just didn’t align with their vision. It’s not that they don’t think you’re great — it’s just that they’re going a different way.”
