"Jonah Hill has said that he didn&amp;#039;t audition for Moneyball.  The actor, who received an Oscar nomination for his role in the baseball drama, revealed that he simply sent director Bennett Miller a copy of the film Cyrus.  &amp;quot;I didn&amp;#039;t audition,&amp;quot; Hill told Deadline. &amp;quot;I showed Bennett Cyrus before it came out and that&amp;#039;s what they cast me from.&amp;quot;  He continued: &amp;quot;You know I was at the bottom of a list of actors who weren&amp;#039;t known for their dramatic work.&amp;quot; Hill went on to say that Miller wanted to cast someone unusual in the role of Peter Brand.  &amp;quot;I knew Bennett socially and he knew I was eager to break out of whatever box I was in,&amp;quot; Hill added. &amp;quot;As a respected filmmaker he wanted to make an unsuspecting choice.&amp;quot; Hill recently revealed that he will focus on dramatic roles for the foreseeable future.
