school and then i dropped out of drama school because i got one acting role and then i just didn't have any acting work after that and then someone said oh you could do modeling because you're a giant

potter no i do get confused with ron weasley a lot though but no that's not me is karen gillan in game of thrones no i'm not in game of thrones i actually remember i auditioned for game of thrones and then got doctor who like right after that a few people have come up to me and said that i look like sophie turner which is a massive compliment and i'll take it but there was one guy that was like oh

sophie turner okay is karen gillan in star wars rise of skywalker no why why do you think this i'm sorry i i wish i was this is just reminding me of all the things i don't have parts in what are the

but i don't have any and that's also fun because i got so much attention growing up rapid fire rapid fire let's go how did karen gillan this is really glued on become famous i think that i became more known when i got the part in doctor who that was my big break and i went from not to a hundred in the space of an hour of that news being released and it was a wild ride read i did an audition and uh got a call back had to read with james gunn the director and then do a screen test where they made me bold and blue and then burst out crying during the screen test but it was fine because it made sense in the context of the scene and then they gave me the part was karen gillan in a soap opera no wish i was though love a good soap where is karen gillan now i'm here with wired um reading this out it's good to be here now this is this is good i feel like i've landed in a good spot what did you learn about yourself today i am a tall person who really needs to learn how to drive because this
