“It was one of the worst days of my life actually,” Alan said of the audition during an interview with CBS Mornings.

He continued, “I felt really, really, really low. I just now think, Oh you poor little thing; you could’ve said, ‘I am feeling suicidal today.’

Thankfully, things changed after he landed the part — and he credits his career in Hollywood with saving his life.

“That’s something I realized when I was writing [my memoir]; like, oh my god, Hollywood saved me,” Alan revealed.

He added, “I have this sort of mantra, which is ‘Cancel, continue.’ When something bad happens I think, OK, that happened; we can’t change that — let’s move on.
