Lights, Camera, Action; Aydin
There’s nothing quite like seeing your little one on TV for the first time, and Aydin’s parents have been lucky enough to watch their son on their screens many times. We sat down with Aydin and his dad to have a chat about their experience so far.
Aydin
How long have you been with the agency?
2 years
What was your first job?
Royal Caribbean Cruises
What was it like going to your first casting?
Strange, but the people were nice – the director let me stand on his board room table .. I was like “wow”.
How did you feel when you were told that you booked the job?
*very* Happy – I lost my first tooth 4 days before and I thought they would not want me.
What was the best part of working on set?
The Yummy food
You got to go on a cruise for a job – can you tell us a bit about that?
I know .. my first cruise ever –it was sooo much fun. I got to go on the bumper cars, play on the X-box, go up in the sky view crane. Awesome.
What things did you find difficult or challenging on set?
There was lots of waiting around and it gets boring.
How did you feel seeing yourself in a catalogue for the first time?
Weird .. but my family and friends loved it.
Albert
Why did you decide to join Aydin up to an agency?
I used to work in the industry, so I have some idea what to look for. Aydin is very mature for his age and takes direction very well. I figured he would be good at remembering scripts and has a very sociable personality. He’s very easy on the eye as well .. that helps
What was it like taking him to his first casting?
A bit out of the ordinary, the advertising company was in a city tower. I wasn’t sure how Aydin would take it – but the staff were all wonderful and made him feel very comfortable.
What is the best part of seeing Aydin working on set?
How well he gets along with all the staff. They love his personality and he leaves his mark wherever he goes
What was it like taking the whole family on a cruise for the shoot?
Well only his mother went – there was some debate over who should go .. actually, who am I kidding ..no debate really .. Mum just decided. They had a wonderful time and I was extremely jealous!
What do you find challenging about having Aydin working in the industry?
Two things really .. firstly “getting” to the auditions especially in Sydney traffic – never fun! And it can be disruptive. It is a commitment that all parties need to uphold. If your agent is putting you forward then you need to be sure you show up.
The other challenge is dealing with the reality that not every job is your job. If you approach the process in the right way the industry can teach your child valuable life lessons. Well .. that’s how we approach it.
What is it like seeing Aydin on TV?
It’s a very proud moment indeed.
