Josh Hartnett had to audition eight times before he was given the role of rebellious son Michael Fitzgerald on ABC's Cracker. "It came down to two of us. I had to go in and read, then he went in, then I went in again," says Hartnett, 19. "It was nerve-racking." But the audition the 6-foot-3 actor will remember for the rest of his life is the one with Kevin Costner. "I was up for 'The Postman' [which opens December 25], and I read for it a couple times, but the casting lady told me I was too tall for the part -- taller than Kevin Costner."
