Parody: Pilot Season PSA (Featuring Mary Birdsong) -- Mary Birdong (Reno 911, The Descendants) in a heartfelt PSA aimed at non-celeb TV actors battling PSS (Pilot Season Syndrome) Ever wonder what it's like to be type-cast? It's probably awesome for Charlize Theron or Rachel Weisz-- they mostly get roles described as "beautiful" or "hauntingly vulnerable." But the roles Birdsong gets seen for usually require a slightly different vocab. This video contains a small sampling of those character descriptions. These are not made up. These are ACTUAL roles that she and countless other comedic actresses have auditioned for. The Descendants -- Clip: Pool Cleaning Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters -- Percy Jackson, accompanied by his friends Annabeth Chase, Clarisse La Rue and Tyson, his half brother, goes on a journey to the Sea of Monsters to retrieve the Golden Fleece and save Camp Half-Blood.
