Chase Sui Wonders is opening up about her audition process for The Studio.
In a new interview, the 29-year-old actress dished on her co-star Seth Rogen and auditioning with him, her favorite movie of his and more.
Chase revealed she only auditioned with Seth once for the Apple TV+ satire comedy series, and noted how she loves his laugh.

“It was a 10-minute riff session. He lit up a joint at the end of it and said, ‘That was great,’” Chase told W Magazine of their one audition together. “He has the best, best laugh. Immediately after I hung up the Zoom audition, I watched a 10-minute compilation of Seth Rogen’s laughs. And now, on the show, I have to scheme against him. He’s my boss, and I have to call him a little b–ch! It’s pretty intimidating to scheme against someone who’s been your childhood hero.”
She was also asked about her favorite movie of his, and gave a few solid responses.
“This Is the End is the last great American comedy. It’s just incredible top to bottom,” Chase told W. “In terms of Seth‘s acting performances, I think Observe and Report is slept on, although it’s having a bit of a renaissance. 50/50 is incredible. It’s one of the best movies about terminal illness we’ve got out there. His Steve Jobs performance is slept on as well. He’s an amazing actor, and he has a total range. The way he plays [Steve Wozniak] is so deep and powerful, and I think more people should cast him in drama movies if he wants to do them.”
If you missed it, The Studio has already been renewed for a second season!
During the interview, Chase also opened up about the being cut from her first paid acting job.
“Judd Apatow cast me in The King of Staten Island, but I got cut from the film, which is hard to do in a Judd Apatow film because they’re notoriously long. I’ve since spent some time with him, and he said, ‘Chase, never forget, I actually discovered you. Even though you’re on the cutting room floor—a lot of great actresses have been on my cutting room floor.’ So I see that as a badge of honor.”
In addition to her The Studio role, Chase will also be starring in the upcoming I Know What You Did Last Summer. Check out the latest trailer!
