Looking back, Zoey says playing Katniss is the No. 1 role she wishes she had landed.
Unfortunately, during the audition process, Zoey immediately knew she wasn't going to get the part.
"I screen-tested for Katniss. But knew I didn't get it, because in the screen test, he was like, 'Why don't you read this other part?'" Zoey revealed on the Lights Camera Barstoolpodcast.
Overall, she admits "that one was a little painful."
But Zoey says that isn't the only painful audition experience she's had — especially considering that she recently had to give an award to a group of actors who all landed roles she wanted.
"At one of these award shows, I gave like the Best Limited Series award out and every single one that was nominated, I had auditioned and not gotten it," Zoey explained.
She explained that during the pandemic, there were only four projects that she auditioned for that she really wanted — and she didn't get any of them.
"I wanted to be like, 'And the award doesn't go to...don't worry, if you lose, I lost too! I didn't get any of these parts!'" Zoey joked.
