“What do we do with her?”- Director Eric Dawson Was Left Starstruck to Have ‘Barbie’ Fame, Margot Robbie Audition for &#8216;American Horror Story: Asylum&#8217;

Hollywood A-listers who establish themselves as A-listers have a lot of “it”
factors, as the famous Dahmer Casting Director calls it. The Primetime Emmy
winner, Eric Dawson, has an extensive list of celebrities trying their shots for
films that have left a mark in Hollywood. When it comes to horror stories, there
are only a handful of enigmas that leave their mark in this murky domain. The
latest Hollywood sensation, Margot Robbie, has not exactly been the correct fit
for them and definitely not for the 2011 American Horror Story. 

It has been more than a decade since AHS was released. However, director Dawson
has still not been able to forget the instance about Robbie.


ERIC DAWSON WAS BAFFLED WHEN MARGOT ROBBIE CAME FOR AMERICAN HORROR STORY

The 61-year-old Hollywood personality recently sat for an interview with
Backstage.
[https://www.backstage.com/magazine/article/dahmer-netflix-casting-director-interview-76455/]
The entire conversation extensively detailed the Dahmer team and their wholesome
experience in casting Ryan Murphy as Jeffery Dahmer, Dawson, added a little
about the Barbie fame of 2023

as well. Going back to 2011, when Dawson came with his initial breakthrough,
American Horror Story, he recalled how Margot Robbie, too, was one of the
various celebrities whom he auditioned.

“Margot has got a lot of ‘it’ factors,” recalled Dawson, opening on what it was
like to have such a star in the house. “Margot is probably one of my favorite
auditions of all time,” he added, saying how Robbie’s presence was a credit in
itself. As a matter of fact, Robbie did not manage to get the role. However,
what has forever stuck with Dawson as a casting director was, “This is a star.
What do we do with her?”
Nonetheless, soon after Robbie was out of the options, Dawson was still as
elated as he would have been if Margot Robbie bagged the role.

“That’s really the fun part of casting, is seeing the people whose careers are
just rising,” he said speaking of the encounter. But did Dawson answer the
possible reasons why an actress like Robbie herself could not bag the spot? Yes,
indeed.


DAWSON BELIEVED THE STARS DO NOT DO THEIR HOMEWORK

“It’s about doing your homework,” he says, suggesting that is the biggest
mistake that actors commit. Whatever the actors are auditioning for, they better
know what they are “talking about or it comes out as gobbledygook,” he added.
And by preparation, he does not necessarily mean the hardcore acting shots but
as simple things as getting pronunciation correct.



“How long would it have taken to realize how to say ‘Potomac’?” he asks, stating
these are the smaller stones that stars stumble across to fall into the dip.
There would be stars who would simply audition for one role since they did not
have time to do all of them. And that really gets Eric Dawson off on the wrong
foot.
