Okay, I'm a self-absorbed, whiny snot for thinking that I could have been cast in two roles, and didn't get cast in either. I saw Kit's audition. It was great. He was wonderful. Especially if he's Equity.
Equity is the actor's union.
People kill to get in Equity, because it means that you get a decent salary, benefits, and the opportunity to be in professional shows. You have to log in 100 performances in Equity shows to get an Equity card, or you have to be cast in an Equity role and be bumped up to Equity status. Kit has been a member of Equity since last year. One of the rules of Equity is that you cannot perform in non-Equity parts. It's rumored that Kit has said that he wanted this role enough to jeopardize his Equity standing.
