The morning of the shoot was beautiful and clear and 80 degrees by 9am. It immediately became clear to me that I needed to nail my lines quickly, before beads of sweat started showing up on my dress.
My husband and fellow actor, Jorge, auditioned for the same commercial. But we auditioned for different roles than the ones you see us in.
While at the callback, the casting director told the director we were a real-life couple. The director was intrigued! He needed a couple, ideally in their 40s. We didn’t quite fit the age ideal, but I guess the idea of a true pair was irresistible….and Voila! We were cast together. This marks thefourth time we’ve been cast as a couple in commercials.
It brings to mind the old adage: The couple that works together, smirks together…
The couple that acts together, smacks together….
OK, these may not be actual adages…
