If art does imitate life, may this piece last as long as Brie, Gilpin, and Flahive care to live in it. ![]() Gilpin: That this is the passion project. Gilpin: But there is a feeling on set, in every department on “GLOW” that everyone has sort of paid their dues and gritted their teeth through certain jobs to get to this one. ![]() This is the thing!'”īut even now, with the season wrapped and rolling out on Netflix and plenty of prestige TV in their past, these actors are still nervous for the next audition.ĭo you feel like there’s been a tipping point? Was there a moment where you thought, “OK, I’ve got this. “It was indescribable when I first read it, in the same way that Betty described: the fear and excitement at reading it and being like, ‘Oh my God. “But I also had this dream criteria in my head where I was ready to sign off on certain shows that checked like two of the six boxes, and I was like ‘Two whole boxes!’ And then ‘GLOW’ came in, and it really did check every box.” “It was amazing to get the opportunity to prove myself the way that Ruth also does,” she said of the audition process. ![]() “So when this came along I was just shaking reading it because I hadn’t really allowed myself to dream of a part like this,” she said.īrie agreed, taking it one step further. And I tried really hard to get those parts because I want my future children to go to school and have appetizers at dinners.” “I’ve auditioned for a lot of what’s out there, which is like squinty cop in tight outfits who aren’t taking any shit in the first scene and in the second scene they’re naked and blowing the captain of the police force. “I’ve been in this strange sweet spot of making my living as an actor but not doing crazy big shows like this,” Gilpin said.
