Casting Directors in Hollywood never cease to amaze me with their near cosmic levels of stupidity. Really, how else do you explain such brilliant casting choices as Matthew Broderick for "Inspector Gadget", or Nick Cage for "Superman". William Hurt as Duke Leto Atriedes in the miniseries "Dune". Sometimes I feel like they're looking for the actor who is as far removed from the character being cast as possible. THis also explains why Ashton Kutcher is getting so much work lately, these people want to cast him in everything I swear to god.
These are my casting calls, where I cast the roles to those actors whom I think best embody the physical characteristics of their respective character and whom are in possesion of sufficient acting talent to pull them off. It doesn't seem like much, but when you look at Hollywood's track record in this regard, well, you can figure it out for yourself.
