Sydney Sweeney began her debut in Hollywood with small roles in TV shows like Criminal Minds and Grey’s Anatomy.
The actress gained widespread recognition from her role in HBO’s Euphoria and The White Lotus, leading her to star in big projects like The Voyeurs and Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. Sweeney’s portrayal of Cassie Howard in Euphoria was critically acclaimed, but her casting wasn’t easy.
In a throwback interview with British GQ, the actress once shared Euphoria’s casting director’s hurtful comment about not having the right looks for playing TV. She admitted that she was told by an industry professional that she could never make it in TV shows. During the interview, Sweeney was asked about any moment she’s “gone out of her way to surpass people’s expectations of her.” She then revealed that a casting director once told her that she “will never be on a TV show” because she didn’t have the “right look.”
