Or, ya know, cast the right person for the role, regardless of who they like to fuck, or what type of hardware they have between their legs.

I know ... crazy idea.

But I just spent the weekend with a theater director in San Diego, and the problems she has with casting are comically sad. Talent just doesn't show up when you need it, isn't available, or .... gasp! ... may be unreliable! (I know, ARTISTS, right?)

It's easy, once a production is complete, to pick someone who would have been better / more appropriate for a role. But that's the finished product, which is about a billion miles away from the thing you started making 18 months, and 26 script drafts ago...
