How Amy Acker Got Into Dollhouse

If your an aspiring actor, you would think that your first move would be to get yourself an agent, and start appearing at casting sessions, but you’d be wrong, you’re first step should be to get to know Joss Whedon.

Amy Acker who will be appearing in Whedon’s latest show “Dollhouse” as Dr Claire Sanders explains to Sci Fi Wire how she landed the role:

“Joss is also one of my very best friends since Angel, so he had told us about Dollhouse, and I kept telling him how jealous I was of Eliza and all the other people. And he was like, “Yeah, I wish I could write a show for my friends.” And then about a week or something before they shot the pilot, my husband picked up the phone and was like, “Joss wants to know if you’re going to come do the thing for Dollhouse.” And I was like, “What? What’s he talking about?” …I think he was worried about having a crossover between Buffy or Angel and this, and then finally he just said, “Ultimately I kind of thought you were the right person for it.” So they brought me on. And I was like, “Um, thank you,” because I was asking if I could do makeup or wardrobe or something. I just wanted to be a part of it. It sounded really cool.”

Well never mind how Joss casts his shows, they always rock and we at DTA Towers are looking forward to Dollhouse.
