Outer Banks Star's Hilarious Top Gun Audition Fail
20 Aug
Summary
- Chase Stokes misread audition materials for Top Gun: Maverick.
- He thought he was auditioning to fly a plane, not be air traffic control.
- Madison Bailey found his mistake extremely amusing.
In a recent interview, Outer Banks actor Chase Stokes shared a humorous anecdote about a significant audition mishap for the film Top Gun: Maverick. Stokes confessed that he misunderstood the role, believing he was auditioning as a pilot of an airplane. His Outer Banks co-star, Madison Bailey, found the story particularly amusing.
Stokes recounted how he completed the entire audition before being informed that the role was actually for an air traffic controller. He offered to re-audition but was asked to leave. Stokes acknowledged that reading the provided script sides would have clarified the role, a crucial step he now advises other actors to take.
Despite not securing a role in the Top Gun franchise, Stokes has gained considerable recognition for his portrayal of John B. in Netflix's Outer Banks. The show is currently airing its fifth and final season, where Stokes' character, along with Bailey's Kiara, will seek a resolution after a character's death in the previous season.
