Newbie question: when performing a monologue from a tv show/movie, should you try and mimic the original actor, or add your own spin to it?

Audition opportunity :)

Can you cry on demand? Seeking actors and actresses who are able to shed tears in front of a camera. This is a paid gig and production will be done remotely (a lot of the film will consist of various Zoom conversations) so don’t worry about location, though...

Longer Afro hair or a buzz cut for Black male actors?
