How do movies ask for “ugly” actors?

Question

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.”

Answer 1

I’ll give you 100k if you let me spend five minutes insulting you on a personal level. I’ll be insulting your appearance, every insecurity you have, mocking your race, ethnicity, and anything else that might really hurt your feelings.

Would you take the 100k? Exactly, and so would I. Studios don’t need to be sensitive, they just have to pay enough. Which, for actors, isn’t going to be a lot.
