“I got a call from all these agents.
And so they called me up and they were like, ‘Oh, guess what?!’
And I was like, ‘What?’
They were like, ‘They’re making a Lord of the Rings and Peter Jackson’s making it.
It’s going to be three movies over three-and-a-half years.’
And I was like, ‘Oh, wow.
They’re like, ‘And when they said they needed a hobbit, we thought, Jake!’
I was literally like, ‘Thank you?'”
Jake Gyllenhaal was called the ‘worst actor’ at the audition
“So I went in.

Plus, his agents failed to inform him that he was supposed to be auditioning with a British accent.
He was like, ‘You are the worst actor that I have ever seen.
Did anyone tell you you were supposed to have an accent?’
He was like, ‘Get him out of here!'”
“I auditioned for a lot of classics that I’m not in,” he joked.
