7 Most Ridiculous Movie Audition Tapes From Famous Actors

1. Chris Klein Auditions For Mama Mia

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0Gmzy-Zn3g Chris Klein began his career as a prototypical teen heartthrob. Appearing in fun romps like American Pie and Just Friends, everything seemed to be going according to plan for the Klein-meister. (He seems like the type of guy who would enjoy being called that.) Unfortunately, things took a nosedive right around the time he auditioned for the ABBA musical-cum-feature film, Mamma Mia. Dude looks like a legitimate serial killer when he launches into his wild-eyed, wildly off-key rendition of "Lay All Your Love On Me." Never mind the fact that whenever he sings a word with an "o" in it somewhere, he looks like he's having his soul sucked out of his mouth by a Dementor, but why on earth would you spend the first part of your audition proverbially splooging all over the idea of Mandy Moore being cast in the movie? Did she put you up to this, Chris? Was this all a shameless promotion for your bud? Because...you could have just written them a letter, dude. This video is captivating as hell, but probably not for the reasons Klein hoped it would be.
