Actors can try for years to land a decent role, and even when they do, it's no guarantee

Those who manage to make it big often say the same thing: they were in the right place

Have a look at the auditions that changed everything for these actors.

Playing Rey in Star Wars: The Force Awakens catapulted Daisy Ridley onto the A-list.

Hundreds of young actresses auditioned for the part, including established stars like

Chloë Grace Moretz and Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan, so when Disney announced the casting

of a young British actress named Daisy Ridley, Hollywood let out a collective exclamation

Prior to her Star Wars audition, Ridley had limited exposure to an international audience,

appearing mostly in British films and television, but her audition for The Force Awakens changed

For her screen test, Ridley had to perform a scene in which her character is tortured

"When we brought her in, I asked her to do this one scene, sort of this one torture scene,

She's reaching this depth of struggle, and tears are streaming down her face.

Director J.J. Abrams and producer Kathleen Kennedy were impressed, and Ridley became

one of the first actors cast in the film, which unsurprisingly went on to become the

highest-grossing movie of 2015, thanks, of course, to The Force.

The original X-Men in 2000 introduced the world to Hugh Jackman, and the actor has relished

Prior to playing Wolverine, Jackman had mostly worked on the Australian stage, performing

in musicals like Oklahoma! and Sunset Boulevard.

That all changed when a casting director eyed him to play the hairy, clawed mutant, though

his initial audition was very low-key for the berserker.

"Oh right, you're just a normal, everyday claw-guy."

"Listen kid, about the only thing you've done to endear yourself to me is to get me into

Director Bryan Singer loved Jackman's audition, but Fox studio executives weren't convinced,

and wanted a bigger name, initially casting Dougray Scott in the part.

When Scott had to decline the role due to scheduling conflicts, Singer turned back to

Jackman, giving him a screen test opposite actress Anna Paquin.

This time, he won the role, despite his wife's objections.

"I like to say it was my business plan, it was a complete fluke.

She thought it was a terrible idea to do Wolverine.

The only time in 20 years she's been wrong.

Please and you feel free to edit that out."

It's hard to imagine now, but Harrison Ford had a difficult time in Hollywood after relocating

He initially managed to secure small TV roles and a few bit parts in films, but for ten

years, he continued to struggle financially, supplementing his income by working as a stagehand

That's where Ford caught the attention of casting director Fred Roos, who recommended

him for American Graffiti, directed by George Lucas.

Despite the film's success, Ford still struggled to find roles.

Years later, an actor scheduled to read for the role of Star Wars' resident space scoundrel

George Lucas contacted Ford to come in while actresses tested for the female lead.

The director saw something special in Ford and asked him for his own audition.

"Well I'm not gonna take you on an impossible chase across the galaxy.

I was paid to bring you here and now you're here.

Give me my other five thousand and I'll be on my way.

Though it would be years before she impressed audiences with her vocal abilities…

"What a lovely singing voice you must have."

...Sigourney Weaver began her career off-Broadway, having graduated from Yale's drama program.

After kind of appearing in a small, very small role in Woody Allen's hit Annie Hall, a casting

director suggested Weaver to director Ridley Scott, who was casting a new science fiction

"Oh I'll get off your back, as soon as 12 module is fixed."

"Well put down your beer can and use both of them and maybe you'll get it done."

Scott had trouble deciding between Weaver and a friend and co-star of hers, Meryl Streep,

He invited several women from the production office to view the two screen tests, and the

women immediately said Weaver as their favorite.

Alien would become an international sensation, spawning a number of sequels and making Weaver

Three Oscar nominations later, it's safe to say Scott made a good choice with Weaver.

He's the most popular superhero in the world, so casting Superman in his first, big, full-color

theatrical outing was a pretty big deal for producers Ilya and Alexander Salkind.

After hiring director Richard Donner to helm the production, the creative team auditioned

established stars like James Caan and Paul Newman, and even then-unknown bodybuilder

Casting director Lynn Stalmaster suggested a young actor named Christopher Reeve, who'd

studied drama at the esteemed Juilliard school and had a number of stage credits to his name.

Donner and the Salkinds first resisted casting Reeve, deeming him too thin.
