I was sent on a Pizza Hut commercial. I hadn't been given any info on what the character was but when I got there, there was a room full of old Italian ladies in mourning black. I happened to have a scarf in my purse so I pulled it out and put it over my head! When I got in the audition room, I was asked to improvise - in Italian - an argument with my sister; two old ladies fighting over the making of the pizza. Well, I didn't speak Italian! So...I just put a bunch of Italian song titles together. The lady auditioning for my sister was Italian and this really threw her. She had no idea what to do. Long story short - got a callback. They changed the two "old ladies" to younger ladies with husbands and I got the job. I'm Armenian and it turns out the lady playing my sister was also Armenian. We had to be spoon fed the dialogue in Italian shooting day. Needless to say the Producers were in shock and kept calling us "The Albanians"
