Britt Lower’s ‘Severance’ Audition Tape Proves Her Helly R. Was Meant to Be

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. Though viewers were first lured in by big names like Adam Scott, Christopher Walken, Patricia Arquette, and John Turturro, Sever
