Seven years ago, Lille Freeman, 17, became convinced she was destined to be an actress, but her ambition has created the occasional logistical problem.
“She’ll come to us and say, ‘I have an audition tomorrow at 7 in Atlanta,’ ” said her mother, Charlotte Freeman. “Many of these things she finds on casting websites, [and] sometimes, I have to make the decision that I don’t like something because it sounds questionable.”
In the case of the Atlanta audition, which was for a public-service TV spot this summer, Freeman drove Lille two hours to find a casting call and became lost in Atlanta. An hour after they arrived, they were back on the road to their home in LaFayette, Ga. She didn’t receive a callback.
Lille is undaunted by the rejection. Unsuccessful auditions are something most aspiring actors face, she said, but she prefers to treat them as opportunities for growth and stepping stones to other opportunities.
