BRANDON ROUTH DISHES ON THE FALLING OUT AS SUPERMAN?! #INSIDEOFYOU #SUPERMAN

now I have a better understanding of what happened then looking back I can go okay I took way too long to get this point but finally I achieved that level up as far as balance my next phase was realizing what I had messed up where where I had screwed up Luke was the screw-up the screw-up was still learning what the screw up as the screw up was that deflecting right what was deflecting but why was i deflecting and-and-and in the deflecting I had built up this ego of of who I was and that's also it was fear the focus deflecting out of fear okay so I was deflecting out of fear because I played Superman I jumped I he this huge to the front of the line I'd done auditions and I'd been on stuff before but I really jumped to the front of the line when I did that movie yeah and then I wasn't given what I thought I was or had earned I wasn't getting offers hey isn't that kind of an EFT way of looking at things cuz I know yeah because we feel like well we deserve this yeah very hard I deserve and it's like it's hard to it is ego and it's hard to imagine like it's a that takes time to change your way of thinking doesn't a very long time I I was told by my you know representatives and everyone they thought it was gonna be a big deal right that's what happens you do a big movie and then you do other well then they tell I read that they actually your agent took you on because like you look sort of like resemble Christopher Reeve so I'm gonna having my back pocket cuz he's destined to play that role is that sort of why he became your agent well originally that was what he said to me then but that I no longer what that agent dropped me after I got after I fired a soap opera I was on back in 2001 anyway so they missed out on that day sure did but that didn't happen when well the only offers I was getting more horror movies which I didn't which I love the way I look around you Fright Night I got Dracula over here Rudy isn't a horror movie but you know yes it's a wonderful movie didn't all these other offers and things for projects that I didn't that weren't in line with what I wanted to write not a lot but they but what offers work worth four things that I just had no interest in and I didn't see them moving my career forward and in the path that I wanted I had to audition for things and there were things that came very close that there that I was working with on the studio that just didn't they didn't pull out if they were in production and it didn't happen couple other things that just didn't happen but by and large I was not a qualified auditioner it was it's the worst thing in the world it's advice better now I feel like I'm better now I have more confidence in myself and many other things that kind of help make that better right but I was I was not a good audition er except for things that I was really right for right which is why you get the things you're really right for anyway so I I didn't do the work I I didn't read scripts well enough I didn't I I was my foot was halfway out the door every time I was going in so all right then I was probably creating a bad reputation for myself with casting offices and and producers and things and so but I was in denial of all this fervor for for quite a while and I had great opportunities thankfully that came along you know with Zack & Miri and Ken Smith you know and Scott Pilgrim about that yeah loves that I got to see that that's really a lot of my friends have seen and they love that so I got to see that yes that's a class worthwhile movie all right I'm gonna and then with Chuck and so I had things you know thankfully kept me afloat and learning along the way but it wasn't until I really till I really understood that I needed to start again that I needed to relearn things and relearn how to not and relearn but I had to go back I had to go back and and actually learn how to audition for myself and re-engage myself and really become part of the process and fully it's looking back I can call it surrender I can say that I had to surrender to the process and surrender to the fact that I had to audition and became disciplined it sounds like yes I started to work hard and so that started you know the first thing that started was happened as I after I took on that mentality was I got the pilot the the sitcom that I did called partners in 2012 and that was a wonderful experience and would love to be still doing it to this day but we did 13 episodes and that was the end of that then shortly after that was some opportunity for for for arrow and I you know they they I brought in a had a meeting with the producers but then I had to go back and I read with a wonderful Emily Ricketts and and did a chemistry test with her and so I had to prove myself that's the thing you always you have to prove yourself and I'm like listening you it's funny because sometimes I think I'm gonna have nothing in common with people and then you start talking for everything we all have things that are in common like there is an ego ego is such a big part of everyone's life that they probably ruin a lot of opportunities and I remember I had opportunities but it was egos lack of discipline I don't want to go learn this I I just sort of embarrassing if I look back I'm like you [ __ ] pompous little [ __ ] and for you to go you know you have an audition with uh you know Tom Hanks or something I mean I've worked on that one but uh you know Good Will Hunting and Saving Private Ryan and I remember those like that night before party and I was a kid I was like 26 and I was like I'm gonna go I didn't get a [ __ ] like the guy I wasn't mature and by the way maturity isn't something that is in my vocabulary but I'm very responsible and you know it takes time you say it takes time to sort of like look back and go hey this is this is where I was [ __ ] out this is this is why and you said you learn you relearn things
