The actors behind Split Fiction’s main characters nearly botched their first auditions because they didn’t know the script had two sides: “We were just stood there, sweating”

Elsie Bennett and Kaja Chan, the actors who play Split Fiction dual protagonists Zoe and Mio, respectively, almost botched their first audition by not knowing they had to literally flip the script they were holding to read the second half of the scene.

“It was a scene in a lift,” Bennett said in an interview on Hazelight’s YouTube channel (timestamped here). “We went in and we did the scene, and then, you know at the end someone says cut? No one was saying cut,” said Bennett.
