There are two things you should be prepared to encounter as an aspiring actor: a screening interview and a call back. The former refers to a short meeting; the latter refers to a longer, more involved interview. A screening interview is the time when the casting director decides if you're the best actor to play the part. This is when you really want to shine -- it's that whole "first impression" thing.
On the other hand, a call back is basically one step before clinching the part. This refers to a situation where the casting director has already chosen you but just wants to make sure that he has made the right decision. He just wants to make sure that you have the right "chemistry" to take on the job.
Once you get the call, try to find out as much as you can about the interview. Ask the coordinator the names of who will be interviewing you. With this information in mind, it will give you a head start as well as prepare you for the interview that will finally seal the deal. In connection with this, research more about the film, the production company, the script, the part you will play, the other actors and most especially the director.
As mentioned before, most of the interviewing panel will be meeting with you for the first time. So be prepared to answer the same questions over and over again. Be patient and try as much as possible not to get frustrated. Answer them thoroughly as much as you can as if this was the first time someone asked that question.
In a call back, always arrive at the venue a few minutes before your appointment. Arriving too early will make you anxious and lose your cool. Arriving too late, on the other hand, makes you look bad. While waiting, you can practice what you will be saying to the interviewers.
Once you are in the interview room, try to be engaging and smart. Enthusiastic but not overwhelming. Do not move in your seat too much. Try to make the conversation as light as you can but with a bit of formality. When answering questions go straight to the point. Try avoiding fillers such as "uh" and "um" in between words and never interrupt the interviewer while he is talking.
Because this is an acting job, attend the call back prepared. When asked to act out a part, be willing. It is also wise to bring extra copies of your resume, your bio, your screen shots, as well as other documents that will tell the interviewers that you have had acting experience and training.
After the call back interview, try to recall each of the interviewer's names and send them a thank you note later on. While this practice is already acceptable, it will also make a good impression as well as help them remember you when making the final decision.
