Lyndon Smith Instagram – Every Tuesday I am celebrating actors I love!
Today I am spotlighting Lyndon Smith, who first caught my attention playing a flirty college student on PARENTHOOD… and I immediately didn’t like her (she was causing trouble for my beloved Drew and Amy after all)! But luckily for me, I kept watching and grew to be a fan. Lyndon has always had a depth and maturity to her work, and also a life of the party spirit. She understands the best thing she can do to inform her acting is to go out and live her life. Soak up every moment, good and bad… and then when the role calls for it, tap into the well. And if the role never comes up…. Well at least you kept busy. But I suspect Lyndon will be delighting us with stories for years to come.
I asked Lyndon a few questions and here is what she had to say:
WHAT IS A MEMORABLE AUDITION STORY YOU HAVE?
Oh my gosh, my audition for PARENTHOOD. I was still pretty fresh to the industry, and I went into Cami Patton and Jen Lare’s office to read my two scenes. I crushed it. Cami goes, “Great, let’s do the last scene.” To which I said, “Uhh.. what last scene?” My printer had NOT printed scene three and I was completely blind-sided, mortified, with stress sweat beading down my tits. They gave me a few minutes with the scene- a full one page monologue because of course it was- and I went back in to face the guillotine. I had no choice but to be 100% my unplanned, unedited self. Pretty sure I blacked out because I can’t tell you how it went. But I left the audition ready to pack my Honda Civic beater up and head back to Florida to live out my days as a Macaroni Grill waitress. Two weeks later, I got a call that I booked the show. I worked on it for two seasons.
WHAT ROLE OR PROJECT THAT YOU’VE DONE ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF?
My series regular on PUBLIC MORALS which was produced by Amblin Entertainment. My second day on set, Steven Spielberg himself came to watch and ended up jumping on camera to shoot one of my scenes. ‘Nuff said.
Lyndon has so much more to share – KEEP READING IN THE COMMENTS!
