Getting casted for a "weak" looking character for a show/ movie is the biggest backhanded compliment, amirite?

What about being cast as the fat or stupid or backwards redneck?

As actor you got to know your niche. Good looking blond guys and gals only get the fluffy roles and don't get to do interesting villains, older guys don't get to be action heroes (unless it's the aging action hero trope) and weird looking people always get the weird rule.

You have to be ok with the outside perception of your looks to be an actor.

Being cast as a senile stumblebum comes naturally to Biden.
