Which Actor/Actress Should Have Been Hired?
Who should they get for the next movie? Which actor should have been hired instead of that guy? Why did they pick that woman when there are at least four better actresses?
Hollywood often has ruined a good film by casting the wrong actors. Of course, producers and directors always have had budget restrictions. Sometimes they only have the money for one star. Sometimes they are too busy spending their money on special effects.
Just as often, they have had to soothe egos. Let’s face it. Some actors and actresses expect top billing, and they don’t want to share it with their co-stars. Many times producers must hire lower ranking stars so that they can satisfy the big star’s billing requirements. This isn’t done to be nice or fair. It’s all in the person’s contract.
In the old Hollywood studios, many fine actors and actress just weren’t available because they belonged to another studio. Then and now, it is also who the actor knows, who the agent is and how busy the actor is that effects whether he gets hired.
But don’t worry the next time your favorite star gets overlooked. These days, there’s always a chance for a remake.
