Editing Screen test (section)

==Types==
Screen tests can also be used to judge the suitability of [[costume]], [[make-up]] and other details, but these are generally called costume or make-up tests. Different types of actors can have different tasks for each individual test. For example, a lead for a musical theater-type movie could be requested to sing a popular song or learn a dance routine. Screen tests are routinely used in films and commercials. They are also used for short films.

International actors such as [[Bruce Lee]] were given screen tests to demonstrate that they are sufficiently articulate in the relevant language. In Lee's case, for the role of [[Kato (The Green Hornet)|Kato]] in ''[[The Green Hornet (TV series)|The Green Hornet]]'', he was asked to converse about [[Chinese culture]] in [[English language|English]] to judge his grasp of the language, then to demonstrate some [[martial arts]] moves to show off his physical skills.<ref>{{cite web |title=Bruce lee interview 1965 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2BKNDc48N4  |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211212/k2BKNDc48N4| archive-date=2021-12-12 |url-status=live|website=YouTube |access-date=20 October 2020}}{{cbignore}}</ref>
