In response to The Handmaid's Tale actress Ever Carradine's query (https://twitter.com/EverCarradine/status/1394817528065527809) asking fellow actors what high-profile roles they came close to getting, Mankiewicz responded that he auditioned for Idol. "I went to those auditions and read with a bunch of people, among them Brian Dunkleman," he tweeted. (Ryan) Seacrest was there, too, I think. If memory serves me correctly - and it doesn’t - I turned it down because I wanted to continue to play the part of unemployed, generic television host."
