Garcia Upset With Casting Couch Strip Demand
By WENNMonday, March 22, 2010
ANDY GARCIA turned on one top casting agent when she asked him to remove his shirt during an audition.
The Ocean’s Eleven star was left scarred by the experience, and is happy to note the woman who asked him to go topless is no longer in the business.
He tells WENN, “She asked me to take my shirt off and I said, ‘You first!’ And then I walked out.
“It was for one of those silly television shows where they say, ‘We’re looking for someone who’s really well built; will you take your shirt off?’
“She kind of looked at me: ‘How dare you say that to me? I’m the casting director!’ It didn’t go much further than that. I never took my shirt off nor did I get the part.”
