For actors, the entertainment industry can be a cutthroat business. There are only so many productions and only so many parts, and while hundreds of people may audition for a particular role, only one ultimately gets the job. Because of this competitive atmosphere, it’s not often that one hears stories about stars suggesting alternatives when they get an offer for an intriguing project, but that’s exactly what Amanda Seyfried did when she was first pitched on the lead/titular character in the new musical biopic The Testament Of Ann Lee.
