If one of the parts is already chosen for an alumni, unless you're a big to-do acting major and they know you already they won't even look at you while you audition.

Trust me, I was an acting major.

Are you kidding? Laertes is fucking badass. If you put on a good performance of Laertes you will get noticed. Be it local producers, or just the girls at school, someone will.

Maybe that's because you fucked up during your audition.

Horatio is a bro, i mean a turbo bro. Everybody thinks that Hamlet is crazy but Horatio stays with him like a bro.

Laertes Is a misunderstanding douche bag.

also Horatio is the only one who doesn't die

Play Yorrick, his lines are easier to remember.

Sorry, Guy, bullshit. I came into my college as a complete unknown and fucking blew them away with an audition piece (I think I did something from Zoo Story) and got cast my freshmen year in Playboy of the Western World.

It's not always about the upper classmen and alums.

you just suck

Funny, I was just told I look like Kenneth Branagh in Hamlet. Love his version of the play.

It depends on what you're going for. Horatio is the easier role and you'll be on screen more. Laertes is the more difficult one, offers greater liberties, and will give you a better chance at being bombastic and noticeable.
