Long before Severance became a TV obsession, when the Apple TV+ series was still being cast, an actor taped an audition scene for one of the show’s most complex and crucial roles. That clip has been released, and it’s incredible to see how the performer’s initial instincts for and interpretation of the character carried over almost note-perfectly into the show itself.
