Director who poor-shamed actor Lukas Gage apologizes for being a dong

Last week, Euphoria actor Lukas Gage made some social media waves when he posted a screen recording of a pretty disastrous Zoom audition with an unnamed director. The virtual try-out wasn’t a trainwreck through any fault of Gage’s; instead, the meeting spiraled when the director began commenting on the actor’s small apartment without realizing he hadn’t hit the “mute” button. Seems to be a trend these days.
“These poor people live in these tiny apartments. Like, I’m looking at his background and he’s got his TV and —” the director can be heard saying before Gage mercifully gives him a tip-off that he can hear everything. “I know it’s a shitty apartment. That’s why, give me this job so I can get a better one,” Gage replies, which is a pretty great comeback, if we’re being honest. (Turns out it was actually a hotel room he was staying in while on location for a different shoot, but we digress).
