After The Leftovers solidified her status as a proper actress with more than one line on the back of her headshot, Margaret Qualley started trying out for more movie roles and landed her true feature debut in 2016's The Nice Guys. As with her first audition, though, her experience trying out for the part was nerve-racking, to say the least.

"I flew from Nashville to L.A. and didn't sleep all night because I was so nervous, and they were like 'Oh by the way, Ryan Gosling's going to be in the room for your audition,' and I was like, 'Oh great thanks, I'm not nervous at all,'" she told Vs Magazine. "I was just so flustered; I don't know where I'm going, or what I'm doing. I stalled for about an hour, telling stories about my dad surfing and his caveman tendencies and did everything to avoid having to audition." After she was finally encouraged to do an actual reading for the role, things worked out nicely enough. "Thankfully, they put me out of my misery and told me I got the job on the spot," she said.
