Looking for attractive actors only! You fatties stay out.

When I start making my own movies, I want to do all the casting, and when I do the casting, I will never say that I am looking for "attractive" people. I found a site recently that had student short film auditions, (I think they were students) and almost all of them said under the description of each role "attractive." For one, this makes me not want to work with them, and two it makes me think they are definitely an amateur. It makes me think this for a few reasons. First of all, the word attractive is so cliche, so old. No one wants to see just attractive, at least I don't. I want to see interesting and different looking. The word attractive sounds completely generic and standard.  It makes me think the person making this movie has little creativity and no unique vision. Ok, if the add for the audition said "attractive in a different and interesting way," then ok fine, but even then, it's so intimidating that people who are attractive in those ways probably don't know it.

 Real actors come in all shapes and sizes, and I'm not just saying that because I don't fit this generic attractive term. The most amazing actors that I know are interesting and wonderful looking, but not all of them are standard beauties. Sure, I want to lose weight so I can get much more of a variety of roles, but even if I was thinner I would still look "different" and not like your typical "attractive" (whatever that even means) person.

One of my favorite actors, Jonah Hill, wasn't your typical muscle chiseled sex god. But you know,I always found him sexy anyway, and he inspired me and made me believe I could do it too. I mean, he's skinny now, but he did it for a role he was gonna play. Actors lose weight, gain weight, gain muscle, shave their head, and all other kinds of things to their bodies for roles. But he wasn't skinny when he first started, and it did not matter one flippin bit. In fact, it probably just added to his character.

 "Attractiveness" just screams creative mediocrity. And I didn't write all this so I could write about my love for Jonah Hill, I wrote it because man, those audition adds just really pissed at me.
