American Horror Story: Asylum - Lizzie Brochere Interview

Question: How did you come to be a part of this show? Were you actively pursuing an American television series? LIZZIE BROCHERÉ: It kind of happened accidentally, although these things never really happen accidentally. I didn’t audition a lot, but I had a manager in L.A. I was living in Paris, so it felt a bit far to audition on tape. It felt a bit unreal. I have a foreign accent and it just didn’t feel right. But, this audition was a lot of fun. I wanted to do it because it was American Horror Story. I’d seen the first season and was a big fan. And the part seemed so crazy. The breakdown was amazing. They talked about Angelina Jolie’s character in Girl, Interrupted and one of the audition scenes was one of Lisa’s scenes in Girl, Interrupted. I loved that scene! So, the process of the audition, in itself, was already fun, which is why I did it. I had no idea that, two weeks later, I would be flying to L.A. to meet Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk. I was excited!
