Every actor remembers their first big audition… and this one didn’t disappoint.

In this standout moment from Episode 195 of The Chris and Mike Show, Neko Ferro shares the story of his first audition for Law & Order—and everything that came with it. The nerves, the pressure, the preparation… and that unmistakable feeling of stepping into a room where the stakes are suddenly very real.

Neko breaks down what it was like walking into an audition tied to such an iconic show, where expectations are high and competition is fierce. He talks about the mental game—how easy it is to get in your own head—and the importance of staying grounded, trusting your preparation, and delivering in the moment.

He also shares what he learned from the experience: how to approach future auditions with confidence, how to handle rejection without letting it derail you, and how every opportunity—whether you book it or not—moves you forward.

This is a great reminder that in acting, the journey is built one audition at a time… and sometimes the biggest wins come from simply showing up ready.
