Julia Garner talks about her initial days of her acting career and how different people along the way gave her the break she needed.

When Julia Garner Revealed How Tom Baker&#8217;s Girlfriend Helped Her Get Her First Ever Role When She Was 15

The world’s a small place to be. Unknowingly, unintentionally we stumble upon
thousands of people each day. We establish connections and soon come to a
complete circle some way or the other. Something similar was the case with the
Ozark standout star, Julia Garner. As the actress talks about her first role as
a fifteen-year-old, you’d be surprised to know her connections with a secret
helper who gave her her first shot.


JULIA GARNER SPILLS THE BEANS OVER TOM BAKER’S GIRLFRIEND’S CONNECTION WITH HER
FIRST ROLE

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]

In an interview with the Build Series, Julia spoke about her initial acting days
as a career. She spoke about how the English writer and actor, Tom Baker and his
girlfriend helped her get the actress her first shot. The star was camera shy at
the beginning, which is one of the prime reasons for her joining acting classes.
She used to do a lot of student roles for Columbia Film School when she was
merely 15. Baker was then the filmmaker for one of the student films starring
Garner. His girlfriend “was interning at a casting office,” and helped Julia get
her first audition.



Her first audition was for an open casting call with thousands of people, but
she didn’t get the job then. A few months later, she auditioned for Martha Marcy
May Marlene, and that was Garner’s first movie ever. She co-starred with many
significantly recognised actors. She was seen sharing the screen with Sarah
Paulson and Elizabeth Olsen. The movie was the hit of that era, and teenager
Julia Garner was already a leading cast.

FROM PLAYING STUDENT ROLES TO PLAYING EMMY MAGNET RUTH LANGMORE

Unlike other stars, Julia never considered acting a real job

Right after her first film, she did Electric children, an American sitcom which
introduced her to a greater audience. Talking about the horror movie
[https://www.indiewire.com/2013/09/review-cannibal-tale-we-are-what-we-are-a-horror-remake-done-right-93167/],
We Are What We Are, and her scenes with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Julia said she got
to learn a bunch of details about filming. “Everything’s shot on a green screen,
and you’ve to imagine a lot when you’re shooting a horror movie,” said the
actress.



Cut to 2016; Garner got her breakout role Ruth Langmore just as a tryst with her
destiny. The actress got the email for the audition and she instantly fell for
the incredible script of Ruth. Although her character wasn’t there in the first
episode, the pilot took her away, and despite the differences between her and
Ruth

she wanted the role too badly. And as it’s known to all, no one could have
nailed it better than Julia herself. The character of Ruth Langmore was made for
Julia and Julia alone. The actress proved it by winning two back-to-back Emmys
[https://netflixjunkie.com/when-julia-garner-called-the-emmy-award-a-piece-of-chocolate-after-beating-4-game-of-thrones-actresses-for-it/]
for the best supporting role for the same.

We wish all the luck and support to the actress for the upcoming Emmy Awards
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-will-better-call-sauls-rhea-seehorn-stop-ozark-and-inventing-anna-star-julia-garner-from-winning-her-third-emmy-award/]
