QAF history question.

I am not sure where to go to find this out, but figured that one of you would know. We know from some of the interviews that Randy read with Gale when he auditioned for Brian, but does anyone know if he read with Hal for the role? I have never read or seen that he did.


Thanks in advance. I know it's an odd question.

If Randy did? I don't think so. At least, not that I ever heard.

Randy mentions in an interview that he read with two Brian potentials, one of them being Gale, and how he was hoping that Gale would get the part. The other guy he read with was the trick that Brian threw out of the loft in when Justin is running away from his mother, early season 1.

I am asking if Hal ever mentioned having to read with Gale during Gales audition.

Ah. I don't think so.

Gale showed up at the end of the week. They were almost begging him to take the role, they thought he was perfect. IIRC, he read with Sharon. If you watch the special features at the end of S1, I think they talked about it.

Is that the trick from 105? Brian kicks him out of the loft when Justin shows up because Jennifer was at Woody's...is that the right episode? If it is, then yeah, SOOOOOOOO glad they picked Gale to play Brian. The other guy wasn't even good looking IMHO.

Thanks for posting this little tidbit...I'd always wondered who the other 'potential Brian' was.

Do you know where I can find that interview? You know, the one said that Randy read with two Brian potentials. I've known Gale did read with Randy, but never had more detail.
Thank you so much.

I'm sorry I don't recall the actual interview it was a long time ago but here is a video of Randy mentioning the audition and how he hoped Gale would take the part:) go to 4:46

Yeah, Tre Smith.

He would have been a disaster as Brian, but it shows
you how desperate they were even to consider him.
