In the soap opera audition, one of my lines was, “Do you think I’m a whore?” In my Brooklyn accent “whore” sounded like “hoo-wha.” Pointing to the line, the casting director asked, “What is this word you are saying?” “Hoo-wha?” I asked. “What’s that?” she asked. “It’s a girl who has sex with guys for money.” “No, I’m asking in what language are you attempting to speak?” I laughed. She did not.
