how does advertising for casting these types of humiliating roles like her's?
>yeah, we are looking for the fattest ugliest looking hick roastie you can find, bonus points if she talks like a retard.
>>
>>223433052
i don't know, but knowing nothing about this particular person, people like this get over not being pretty fairly on in their lives and find their self-worth elsewhere. in some ways, they're more free than average or pretty women.

Casting agents put out calls for things like middle aged office worker or overweight secretary, they don't put "fat fucking smelly retard cunt pig bitch"

She was the strongest character in the movie. Anton knew he was caught in a game of morality the moment he stepped into her trailer park.

>>223433052
Just ask for “average American 50 year old”

I put on weight because they always need a big fat guy for a role

unironically the unstoppable force vs the immovable object (aka, the ultimate fatass)

>>223433052
You do realize the actress wasn't actually fat.
They put her in a wig & makeup, then put her infront of the camera taberu no?

he really wants to

>>223433052
That actress is a casting director herself, so she was just being honest with herself for professional gain.
>>
>>223433127
So what you are telling me is that you can give out some information?
>>
>>223433052
Coen Brothers have a habit for casting the ugliest people as extras. I noticed it too in Fargo
>>
>>223433381
I mean she might have gotten fat off of fatty meats not sugar you don't really know that

>>223433127
HOW DO YOU HAVE HER POWERS?

>>223433631
From the looks of it, she sure as hell is a professional gainer.

>>223433052
I was just thinking about that the other day, Italian comedies from the past really seemed to love the whole "attractive woman vs ugly woman" thing, and soooo many actresses were specifically cast because of how unattractive they were.....what do you even tell an actress in a situation like that? "Okay, so you're the ugly, disgusting woman who's chasing our comedic lead and you really desire him, but he wants the suipermodel we cast opposite you. Any questions?"

I think he figured he could kill her, but not get the information from her desk himself quickly and he may get caught by someone else. He needed her to actually do it and the office had too much foot traffic and visibility to risk anything.
>>
>>223434923
i read her imdb biography after posting that, she died 4 years ago. she seemed happily married with children that did well. she played a bunch of bit parts over the years and probably was very proud of her gig in no country for old men.

He knew he'd met his match. She flushed the toilet in the other room using only her mind and scared him right off the property

It's pretty straightforwardly a freakshow, laugh at the proles/goyim/hicks/whatever

>>223434643
I think sometimes they pretend they're frumping them up with fatsuits and make-up
>>
>>223435394
i think they see humanity in these characters. superficially, they may be made up to look ridiculous, but underneath i think there is some form of respect from the filmmakers. i don't see contempt at all, i think it's more like affectionate ribbing.
>>
>>223433052
There are agencies that are specialised on odd body types. There agencies for everything.

>>223433052

>"Okay, so you're the woman who's chasing our comedic lead and you really desire him, but he wants the woman we cast opposite you. Any questions?"
Fixed it, that's exactly how they would say it. Actors understand the concept of...acting. The woman in the OP was probably young and pretty once and just doesn't care anymore, she had her moment and likes playing the role of a surly older and less attractive woman now. Some people are confident in their looks even if they aren't the most beautiful person around. And many others are perfectly content with aging and don't try to avoid it or hide it, Pamela Anderson has been a pretty good recent example of this.

always found this woman in Farscape impressive, tbqh. apparently 'Magda Szubanski' is a name people recognise, but i was thinking she was from Fargo perhaps.

nah. random Australian actress (as with a lot of Farscape). can't speak for the accent but presumably some casting agency was like
>we need a disgusting slob to play a greedy, greasy used spaceship saleswoman.

does the casting call just say the obvious? or does some agent read it then tell the actress:
>it's a nuanced role, and of course you'll need to wear contact lenses, but i think it suits your talents :)
>>
>>223435411
even the small "little people" characters that are objectively stupid or idiotic in story have their dignity, provided they're not evil and just live their lives as well as they can. i think the coen express their only scorn to a character in fargo via marge when she admonishes grimswald for killing innocent people for a little bit of money.

No casting calls use plain language, it'll say gender, race, age, body type (thin, muscular, overweight), sometimes it'll mention hair or no hair (bald), or eye color, tattoos, piercings etc. It gives character background too, like if they are looking for a jock, or a college or high school student, or a librarian. It will also sometimes describe the setting of the movie so apocalyptic wasteland or futuristic city, or modern day Beverly Hills. The director and casting directors and makeup and costuming departments just talk amongst themselves to hire people with the exact look they want.
>>
>>223435616
one of my high school teachers was a part-time actress, she was a bit fat, she described that sometimes when she got a gig, she understood that the part was meant to be unflattering without being told explicitely or directly but rather by the way she was costumed or dressed, but she knew what she was getting into beforehand and was game to deliver what was required.
>>
>>223435616
some of those are just 'stats' right, actors know how they look and what roles fit, they provide headshots etc.

but where it does it become more PC, walking-on-egg-shells-y? you want someone beautiful, or handsome? what if the female character needs small tits for a joke? would they just outright tell a manlet, 'sorry, you would look wrong as the jock,' etc?
>>
>>223435707
Yes they just deny people with the wrong look. "okay we'll give you a call" They'll put handsome or beautiful or busty or flat chested or tall or short on the casting or audition sheet. Again actors are comfortable with acting. Normal functional adults just speak and write plainly without having to be politically correct or walking on egg shells because they say "we need someone taller" rather than "eww gtfo of here you fucking manlet" or "this part calls for a younger actress" rather than "we don't want no fucking hags" Also, what this anon said >>223435697 is also correct.
>>
>>223433308
she's played by Halle Berry

Self-acceptance is a lesson too many refuse to learn these days.

Humiliating? She was a badass you fucking pleb.
