AMT252’s special guest Isy Suttie is kinder in spirit than the average casting agent, as demonstrated by Ben:

After listening to last week’s podcast, the point was raised that on casting calls the casting director might not want to hurt your feelings.

However a few years ago I had an audition for the stable boy in the HBO series Game of Thrones. On the casting call it said “small very fat stable boy”.

I didn’t feel that this was written with feeling in mind, especially as this was sent to young teenage boys!

PS I didn’t get the part… I wasn’t fat enough.

That’s what they told you. Maybe they were taking care of your feelings by not saying you were too crap at acting, or the wrong kind of fat. Or that horses bolt at the sight of you. (No offence, Ben; I’m purely speculating.)
