‘AMERICAN HORROR STORY’ CASTING DIRECTOR REVEALS MARGOT ROBBIE AUDITIONED FOR THE SERIES: Eric Dawson, the casting director for American Horror Story, revealed on a recent episode of Backstage‘s In the Envelope: The Actor’s Podcast that Margot Robbie was almost cast in the second season of the show. “Margot has a lot of ‘it’ factors. That’s the tough thing for casting directors who aren’t in the room anymore with actors,” Dawson said. “Margot is probably one of my favorite auditions of all time, and it was right before she broke out. She was such a star. It was crazy, her star appeal when she walked in the room. Even though she didn’t get that role, that was one of those things as a casting director where you go: This is a star, what do we do with her?” He added, “Immediately, though, she was out of our realm of possibility of hiring. But that’s really the fun part of casting, is seeing the people whose careers are just rising.”
