Katic may be well known for her role of Detective Beckett on Castle, but the story of how she landed the role isn't known quite as well.
The actress shared details during an interview with The TV Addict about the unusual audition. She said, "I didn't have time to shop for the right blouse so I just grabbed this blouse that I had and thought I'll make it work. When I got to the testing area, they were doing the makeup, hair, fiddling with my clothing and of course it wasn't working. There I was, trying not to stress out because I'm about to be on camera for about 40 to 50 people in about 10 minutes."
Her future co-star, Nathan Fillion, ended up being a huge help in the sticky situation. She continued on, "There was Nathan grabbing a coffee, he says, 'Hey, how are you doing?' I'm like, 'So can you help me out for a second?'...So he cut my shirt, removed the lower tunic part and it's funny because the producers kind of walked in on the two of us being co-criminals and I thought that was just a real wonderful kind of taste of what the camaraderie would be in the future on the show."
