I found out that you could audition by sending a picture of yourself and some information to Newsround.
I don't really want to start my career again, and I don't like Hollywood. If it had happened to me when I was young, yes, I'd be there like a shot, but I wouldn't like to go there and hang out and go to auditions at my age.
So I went and did an audition and became the biggest radio actor in Sydney, and that's how it all started.
I tried my best [on audition for X-Files], and it worked out. I got the part. So I was flabbergasted.
I had been going on auditions and things like that since I was probably 10 - 11 years old.
Every audition I get, I agonise over and I put everything I can into it.
Now when I get auditions, I choose to believe that I am an amazing actor.
I've had heartbreaking auditions where they don't even look at you. You're out before you're in.
I was 12, about to turn 13. [Laura Ziffren] pretty much knew she wanted to use me, so I just had to go and do the proper protocol and audition.
If you go in and audition for roles rather than just be offered them, then you kind of get a chance to kind of discover that you can do something that you didn't think you could do.
Simon would not want to audition in front of Simon.
This is the first time I've ever played the Grammys. I finally passed the audition.
I love my job and I know I am very lucky but still, if you audition and you don't get it, it still affects you.
Occasionally I will audition for a big overseas movie, but that's it.
Certainly, when I walk into an audition, a lot of people already know who I am.
I was going on years and years of auditions and being told I was too this, too that, not enough of this, not enough of that, to the point where I was so afraid and diluting myself into absolutely nothing...
It's hard to do things like auditions, because you don't want to put weeks of work into just an audition.
I was so lucky that I didn't have to audition. It's just such a grueling process, in itself.
I was working at a restaurant in L.A. when a producer came in. He said I should audition for this movie Cellular. I did, and I got the part. It actually makes me sick to tell that story because its obnoxious.
Any time you audition and get it, you earned it.
Sometimes you walk out of an audition and you kind of know you nailed it and you're probably going to book it, but you very rarely are told in the room by the people who are hiring you.
I always say to my wife, don't tell anyone I watch this [shows like The X Factor and Pop Idol], but it fascinates me because I've done so many auditions and been knocked back.
I'm not one of those people who can cry on cue. If I have to cry in an audition, I'm like, 'Okay, let me see what I can do.
There was recently a story out that I turned down a role in a major franchise. That's not true. I refused to audition for it. I didn't get the part. I didn't even go in because I thought that the part was just a repackaged version of the parts I played before in these young adult films - sort of moody, masculine, but sensitive and all this kind of thing. It was just a repackaged, rather dull thing.
Whenever I audition for something, if I get excited about the project I'm totally committed to it from that point on. But it can also be a long process, so when I eventually get given the part it's then that I realise that I've actually got to do it and here comes the work!
