What the Hell, Casting Agency?: Difference between revisions

 

 

This can range from really bad to [[One-Scene Wonder|completely awesome]], depending on the actor, the part and the production. On the bad end, an actor might be horribly miscast for the role, or out of place in the entire show/movie. When done right, that dissonance can make the character or the whole production a lot better than could be expected without them. They might even [[He Really Can Act|do far better in the role than expected.]] There is certainly a lot of possibility for [[So Bad It's Good]] as well.

Not to be confused with [[Money, Dear Boy]] (though often the effect is the same); sometimes, the actors involved just did it for the heck of it and [[Doing It for the Art|not necessarily because they were paid very much]] or that they're trying to show that they can be versatile and [[Playing Against Type|not be in]] the [[Typecasting]] trap; which can be bad for actors. Which makes for a great work but still does nothing to reduce the surreality of their presence in it. Can also occur when an attempt at [[Stunt Casting]] comes ''waaaaay'' out of left-field. But there are cases where the odd casting actually ''worked'' [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]. See also: [[Black Sheep Hit]], a hit song that doesn't sound anything like the band's other songs and [[Playing Against Type]], when an actor or director makes a project outside of their usual character type.
