* ''[[Saved
* ''[[The Fresh Prince of Bel
* ''[[8 Simple Rules]]'': Bridget and Kerry try out for cheerleading. Bridget is the clear favorite, but Kerry gets the spot.
* In an episode of ''Ready or Not'', Busy got the opportunity to audition for something Amanda wanted after a talent scout found her little bit of silliness during a set mishap more entertaining than the actual play Amanda was in.
Line 27:
== [[Real Life]] ==
* Christine "Moose" McGlade went to a Canadian TV audition only to support a friend only to become one of the stars of ''[[You Can't Do That
* Gene Simmons--a.k.a. "The Demon"--from KISS tells the story of the band's rise to stardom and the famous fire-breathing bit. He notes that when asked who wanted to learn how to do it, he got picked because he was the only one who didn't jump at the opportunity.
** ''[[American Idol]]'' winner David Cook went along with his brother to cheer for him as he auditioned. Obviously, it didn't go so well for his brother.
* Would you believe that this was how [[Johnny Depp]]'s career launched? He was driving his buddy [[Jackie Earle Haley]] to an audition when [[Wes Craven]] saw him and asked him to do Nightmare. [[Edward Scissorhands|The]] [[Pirates of the Caribbean|rest]] [[Corpse Bride
** Apparently that's just an urban legend. Jackie Earle Haley himself says that [http://www.hitfix.com/articles/2010-4-26-jackie-earle-haley-says-freddy-krueger-makeup-worse-than-going-to-the-dentist isn't true] and has no idea how that rumor got started.
** There's a similar story about Mel Gibson - his friend was auditioning for [[Mad Max]], and Mel was just his ride, but, owing to the fact that he'd been in a barfight the previous night, Mel was pretty bruised and messed up, which got him an audition of his own since it fit with the theme.
