The worst thing an actor can hear: He’s too GREEN.
On one of my first auditions the casting director told my manager I was good, but I was “a bit green”. What the hell does that mean? Well, its still not very clear. For some its a simple excuse not to get into detail about WHY they didnt like you. For others it means their lack of experience is preventing them from hiring you even though you have talent, and for others, its a matter of a lack of talent or not having leart to use it.

I personally believe it isnt until the SAME casting director sees you SEVERAL times that he will choose to make a gamble on you. Think about it this way: would you hire someone who was good but a complete unkown to you? Or would ou rather hire someone good but that you have seen perform well in several occassions, has proven to always be on time, have a nice attitude and always have his sides memorized prior to the audition?
