Bloom also shared how the program shaped her into the actor she is today.

“They were so encouraging of me taking risks as an actor," she said. “In auditions it is really easy to fall into, ‘What do I think casting directors are looking for and how do I fit into that.’ And that can be very limiting.”

Bloom continued, “Elon was so good about emphasizing finding a way to make the character you, instead of what you think it should be.”

I told my agent, ‘If this comes up, I would love the opportunity to read for them.’ ”

Though she didn’t score a role in the first season, her chance came along again during auditions for season 2. Bloom also touched on how she navigates with the inevitable string of “no’s” in the industry.

“Find other outlets,” she said, before adding that living in a place she loves also helps her in difficult times.

Bloom was just 9 years old when her father, David Bloom, who was a well-known NBC News journalist, died suddenly in April 2003 as he was covering the war in Iraq. A clot that started as a deep vein thrombosis traveled from his leg to his lungs, where it lodged in an artery, resulting in his death.
