Morning Brew – Jessica Capshaw shares her “Grey’s” audition story

Happy Coming Out Day! I’m a huge lesbian!

Here’s Beverly McClellan’s coming out story.

If you are still crying over last night’s Glee, here’s something to look forward to next week.

TV Guide asked the cast of Grey’s Anatomy for their audition stories. Sara Ramirez shared hers but my favorite is Jessica Capshaw’s.

“I auditioned for this show two weeks after I had my son Luke, and I was not interested in auditioning for anything because I was interested in being a mother. But my agent called me and said, ‘I wouldn’t call you for any other reason other than Grey’s Anatomy, because I know that’s your favorite show.’ So two weeks after I had the baby, I… auditioned for Nurse Rose [eventually played by Lauren Stamile]. I knew Patrick because I had worked with him two years prior, so he and I got along real well. But they picked the other girl and I was like, ‘Man!’ About a year later, I went in for a part that hadn’t been named yet, but she was this sexually promiscuous, adventurous part, and I didn’t get the role again. That was Melissa George‘s part, Sadie. They kept saying they really love me and I was like, ‘If they really love me, I would have a part in the show.” A month later, I got a three-episode offer to play Arizona Robbins.”
