adam436 Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 I was recently listening to the H&A Podcast and there were a few actors being interviewed that stated they had auditioned for other roles: Ray Meagher initially read for the part of Tom Fletcher Penny MacNamee auditioned for Bianca Scott, Hannah Wilson and Kat Chapman, before finally getting cast as Tori. Ada Nicodemou auditioned for the role of Sarah Thompson A few others I know of: Danny Raco - Noah Lawson Dannii Minogue - Marilyn Chambers Susie Rugg - Dani Sutherland Bonnie Sveen - Bianca Scott Reece Milne - Hunter King Patrick O'Connor - Hunter King Jessica Grace-Smith - Phoebe Nicholson Chris Hemsworth - Robbie Hunter Ben Unwin and Johnny Ruffo had unsuccessfully auditioned for other roles before Jesse and Chris respectively (I don't know if it's ever been said whom!) and Debra Lawrence auditioned for the role of Pippa in 1988 and missed out, before actually getting the role in 1990. Sorry meant to post this in General Discussion, can it be moved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainTed84 Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Short answer: All of them Long answer: yeah as you said it seems like for the most part on Home and Away the people who get cast auditioned for some sort of other role! As you listed in the post there's A LOT of them! It's just the industry I guess, the casting producers keep an eye on who just missed out and find the perfect role for each individual actor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakeyy. Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 Didn’t Isla Fisher audition for Angel, but then later got Shannon? Same with Kestie Morassi, auditioned for a role earlier, but then was cast as Maggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't picture that - Ben Unwin looked too old to be playing a teenager, even though he was only about 19 or something when he started on the show.

But they have had so many actors in there mid 20s in recent years play teens as Matt/Casey Josh/Spencer/Oscar/Ryder/Sasha/Maddy/Evie/Tamara all played by actors in 20s. I understand we talking about different time but 19 doesn't seem to old to play teen after seeing mid 20 years old play teens in recent years.

Summer's Bay Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Justine Clarke auditioned for the role of Carly , Bobby and I think Lynn as well. I think the role of Roo was perfect for her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the role of Roo was perfect for her She was great as Roo but sadly for Justine, playing a villain (and the audience reaction to that) affected her badly resulting in such an early exit. It may have worked out better for us had she played another part and someone else played Roo, who may have stayed on longer. I often wonder how different the show may have been had Roo stayed on. Her exit always feels like it comes way too early for me. In this old TV movie, a younger Justine looks a lot like Helena Bozich (Lynn). So I could actually see her playing Lynn. It also features a very young Rebekah Elmaloglou (Sophie, also in the trailer) and Mouche Phillips (Viv), and probably others. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EV995883AUY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
