Often in movies there is a character that is bemock for being unattractive in some agency . manifestly these things are unvoiced to fake so they just cast existent people with the physical making . How do they go about finding people to appear in a movie ?
Ashlie Atkinson :
There is a tidy sum about the way this question has been asked that gives me interruption ( and frankly , some of the answers sent my brow skyward as well ) . I will cover this from my own personal experience as one of the " fat and ugli . “I live on in New York , not Hollywood , and make my living as a professional actress . I get auditory sense through my agent and my manager , just like the ingenues . Roles I audition for , and book , are probably 50 % look - specific and 50 % not . But I am , as is necessary in my patronage , fully aware of how I look . My fatness is not a secret that is being proceed from me , that I finger uncomfortable with people address . I am fat . I also finger very attractive in my daily animation , because at the goal of the day , what I do at oeuvre is toy A ROLE . telecasting and pic are not life . I do not get my self - respect from the outward attractiveness of the parts I play . I catch play a role that is described as " fatty " or " untempting " as a challenge and an opportunity . There is a widening chasm between how people on television looking and the appearances of the people look on at home , and I am gallant to be an actress that women " of a sure size " can identify with . To me , it ’s not about being a freak . It ’s about portraying character that could live on in the substantial humanity , that are mother or level managers or profligate food restaurant employees , that go through sprightliness without the welfare of plastic operating theater and personal flight simulator . I am not an actor so I can face pretty , or to collect a payroll check and be laughed at . I am an actor because there is nothing on Earth I enjoy as much as acting .
