He'd told his manager he wasn't sure the part was for him, that he didn't think he looked much like a doctor- And he didn't. He'd turned out to be a damned fine actor, good enough to leave music behind, but he still looked like a rock star with his long wild hair and those eternally tired eyes.
"Just go, see how it goes," his agent had urged. "This could be a breakout role for you in America."
So now he was here in some room with a dozen other actors he sort of recognized, slouched low in his seat as his eyes skimmed over them all. He was judging in silence, but definitely judging.

About half an hour later a text came through for the place he'd mentioned, along with a photo of some tacos and a margarita.

Date: 2025-01-18 01:34 am (UTC)Nyx waved the waiter over.
"Order whatever you like, my treat," he added with a shrug. "How'd the rest of the auditions go?" he asked, genuinely interested.

Date: 2025-01-18 04:49 pm (UTC)When the waiter was gone, he looked back to Nyx. "I had one more of them audition, and sent the rest away." He looked thoughtful and added, "You know, that last guy probably thinks it's because he nailed it. He did not."

Date: 2025-01-18 06:06 pm (UTC)"I'm a rockstar, it's obnoxious, I'm sure," Nyx joked, grinning a bit. Though there was something about the way he said it that rang false.

Date: 2025-01-18 06:59 pm (UTC)"Yeah? What did you think?" Nyx asked, finishing his drink just in time for a server to walk by and top him up again. "You can be honest."

Date: 2025-01-19 03:10 am (UTC)"Only listened to the one?" Nyx grinned. "Sometimes I miss music, you know? But I needed a break from it."

Date: 2025-01-19 01:15 pm (UTC)"You're a musician too, are you?" Nyx asked, finally returning his attention to his half eaten tacos. "What do you like to play?"

Date: 2025-01-19 01:36 pm (UTC)"Bit more high-brow than my sound," Nyx laughed. "Nice that you play though. It's good for the soul, I think."

Date: 2025-01-19 05:48 pm (UTC)"I was approached by a director who thought I'd be good for a film he was making. He asked if I'd be willing to audition. The band had decided to take a hiatus anyway, so I thought I'd just see what happened. He wound up giving me the role. and I found I really liked it. It was fun being someone else for a bit," Nyx said with a little shrug.

Date: 2025-01-19 07:04 pm (UTC)The waiter came back over with more food, and House snagged a taco before gesturing to Nyx to help himself to the chips. He took a bite and after he was done added, “One film is very different than being a series regular.”

Date: 2025-01-19 07:10 pm (UTC)"Oi, I've done more than one," Nyx laughed. "You saw my resume, I've got a few films under my belt now, and I did a mini series too. ...And I know, I get it, American shows run forever. Surely if I get bored in a few years you'll just kill me off, give me some awful illness or whatever. Oh, or let someone shoot me. That'd be great for ratings."
