I guess what upsets me so much is I was ASKED to do this....I didnt audition, so they could have made a decision then and I wouldnt have felt so bad about it. In an audition situtaion, the age thing happens all the time.
At least with an audition, you could look at a damn breakdown and decide for yourself if you were right for it or not. Instead of being humiliated and treated like a piece of meat.
