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 always just assumed the actor went for something else but they were like “we have someone in mind for the lead, but I have a role for you. Ugly man #5”
