VIDEO : Kerry Washington Was Fired From Two TV Shows For Not Being ?Hood? Enough

Kerry Washington and Aziz Ansari sat down for Variety?s fourth season of ?Actors on Actors,? and talked about what it?s like to be typecast in Hollywood. After asking Ansari his perspective on auditioning, Kerry discloses information about two pilots she participated in prior to Scandal. "Both went to series, but I was fired and recast," Washington said. ?For both, it was because they wanted me to sound more ?girlfriend,? more like ?hood,? more ?urban.??
