How do movies ask for “ugly” actors?

1.79K views

Or things seen as “negative” otherwise, like specific disabilities (eg. achondroplasia)

I see a lot of ways it could sound offensive. How do they ask for them to audition? Surely they don’t put it bluntly like “need blonde, ugly man.”

This is not an answer, but an observation. In an episode of Friends there is this really tall and overweight preteen girl who has to dance on Ross’ feet at a wedding after a bunch of the smaller girls did. He freaks out about it, and the episode ends with his feet being injured.

Imagine being that young girl grown up and thinking ‘Oh cool I played the fat, ugly girl on a TV show’

Idk. Just seems so fucking mean, I get it’s a job, but like in that case that girl couldn’t have been more than 15.
