Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Casting agents usually have a very specific appearance in mind when casting actors to play their characters. When holding auditions there will usually be descriptions noting what the character should look like, for example blonde hair, frail frame, not too tall etc. This is also the case when casting actors in adaptations of books and video games. However, sometimes an actor who is completely different from the physical description shows up for the audition and they completely nail it. The casting directors throw the description out the window and hire this actor because of their performance. This sometimes leads to other tropes such as Race Lift, Adaptational Attractiveness and often Hollywood Homely and Hollywood Pudgy if the character was meant to be ugly but references to this weren't removed when an attractive actor was cast. It's rare but it can also happens with regards to a character's gender. Note that it isn't an example of the trope if the actor works hard to resemble the physical description of the character. |
