Star Wars: Tom Holland auditioned for Finn in The Force Awakens February 23, 2021 by: Cherry that he got pretty deep into the audition process to play Finn in Holland explains in the interview that he got pretty far in the audition process for the role but things didn't go all that well during one of the auditions. Here is what Holland had to say about the process: "I've had quite a few. I've read the wrong lines at the wrong audition before. I remember my audition for Star Wars, I was like four or five auditions in, and I think I was auditioning for John Boyega's role. I remember doing this scene with this lady, bless her, and she was just a drone. So I was doing all of this, like, 'We gotta get back to the ship!' And she was going, 'Bleep, bloop bloop, bleep bloop.' I just couldn't stop laughing. I found it so funny. And I felt really bad, because she was trying really hard to be a convincing android or drone or whatever they're called. Yeah, I obviously didn't get the part. That wasn't my best moment."
