Auditions are normally held at a off-site casting office far away from the main production of a shoot or movie. The Artist was asked to audition at the production offices of GH.
The front gate of the studio home of General Hospital.
It’s still an odd feeling to walk up to a major television studio to find Zach's name on the guest list.
Mark Teschner is the casting director for the show. He's cast thousands of hours of television in his career.
The Artist and I made our way across the lot and were wondering if we should turn left or right to find the set. We looked to our left and found the answer when we spotted this sign:
The front of the hospital is really on the side of a studio set. The sign is next to a loading dock made to look like a hospital emergency entrance.
We entered the building and it was like stepping into a real hospital. The security guard gave us directions to the elevator. The sign below is the first sight you see after exiting the elevator:
The current cast of "General Hospital".
The Artist signed in at the casting office desk. I could tell by the look on his face that he was nervous at the sight that greeted him. There were three other actors in the room and all of them were in the 18-22 age range.
We looked at each other but didn't say a word about the age difference.
Out of the three guys in the waiting room, two of them were blonde and bland while the third guy looked like the wrong version of Taylor Lautner.

He had the Taylor Lautner look from the first “Twilight” movie. He was long haired and skinny with clothes that were too big for his frame.
If you’re going to try and look like Taylor Lautner you should go for the buff version/popular version of Taylor Lautner.
Zach waited his turn and went in for his audition. He was in the casting room for a good 10-15 minutes. He walked out to the sight of two actors his age in the waiting room. The Artist was relieved to see kids his age trying out for the role.
A cute sign we spotted as we left the audition. It's next to the ambulance parking lot on the set.
It turns out GH is auditioning two different age groups to determine which direction they want to go with the character. As always, it’s a case of “hurry up and wait” before we find out any further news from the producers.
