Michaela Zee Sarah Snook revealed that she was mistreated by both a casting agent and producer during the early part of her career.
In a new interview with The Sunday Times, the “Succession” star said that after she landed a film role, a casting agent told her, “We don’t really want you because you’re a nobody, but the director and the writer think you’re good for the role.
So what we’ll do is change all of you so that you’re marketable: we’ll whiten your teeth, darken your hair, we’ll give you a personal trainer so you can lose weight and look the part.” The actor agreed to these circumstances, figuring that “in order for me to be successful I have to be all the things that aren’t me.” Snook also recalled a situation where a producer chastised her in front of the cast and crew after having the “tiniest bit of chocolate cake.” A costume designer intervened and encouraged her to continue eating it. “And all the while I am dying inside.” “The infantilizing of women, to not be able to make their own decisions, why would we do that to women?” Snook asked rhetorically.
Snook recently scored her second Golden Globe win for her performance as Shiv Roy in the critically-acclaimed HBO series “Succession,” and will vie for an Emmy at the awards ceremony on Monday night.
