14 Audition Tapes Of Some Of Our Favorite Actors, Before They Hit It Big

Everyone has to start somewhere. And as an actor or actress, that remains the same. These famous entertainers don't always land their roles so easily. At least not in the beginning. Clearly as an established movie star, they might not have to audition for roles, as roles are sometimes written with them in mind or are handed to them. But as new kids on the block, most have to go in front of scouts and show their capabilities in order to land that first role.
