Have you ever turned down a role?

I hear of many actors using an acting coach for roles in feature films and television. Have you ever employed the services of a coach? If so, why? Was it a large role? Personally, I usually only work with a coach for self tapes, but I was wondering if it’s...

How do you feel about self-taping?
