That One Audition with Alyshia Ochse

007: Tommy Dewey — Nothing CASUAL About THE MINDY PROJECT Stud


Listen Later

Tommy Dewey may seem casually cool and like he has it all figured out in this business, but it took "letting go" of perfection to land the jobs on CASUAL and THE MINDY PROJECT that made him feel like he could truly relax and embrace a fully realized character.  A collegiate track runner at Princeton University, Tommy had big plans for Wall Street signing up for the LSAT twice. On hiatus from a stress fracture, Tommy accepted a challenge to audition for the two coveted spots in Princeton's improv troupe.  No acting experience, but a innate sense of comedic timing and his sports driven ambitious nature landed him one of the two coveted roles out of 100 actors.  Tommy not only secured the spot in the group, he eventually was the troupe's director and writer.  Law School was still waiting for Tommy, but Tommy challenged himself with a summer intensive at RODA and now attributes his success to his fall back plan being writing.  Yes, this guy can write!  Tommy took a year off of acting to create and run the writer's room for his own show "Sons of Tucson."  Listen in to hear how Tommy deals with nerves, how he runs a casting session for his shows, what really gets you the job, how to stay in the game and how his back up plan now is writing.
