“It will never be me,” said Meijer. The auditions can be painful experiences. “I did the worst two years ago, before the musical ‘t Schaep with the 5 legs. That you have to throw your whole heart and soul on the table in five minutes in such a bunker, because auditions are always in a kind of bunker with artificial light and people behind a table. “
“That last time I really thought I had blown everyone off their seats. Until I saw someone looking for his phone in his bag and the director paused and said,” Now do your scene. ” I was already canceled when I was still on the bike. “
Despite this, the actress is not lacking in work. “The funny thing is, since I stopped doing auditions, I get more calls than ever, just by people who know what I can do.”
Before she achieved success with the absurdist television program together with Margôt Ros Gates C Meijer played a corpse several times, in series like Baantjer in 12 cities, 13 accidents. “The trick is to live as long as possible before you die,” she says. “In Murder on the taxi, from Baantjer, I was dead pretty quickly. I have not been able to make it a lingering issue. “
