But sometimes they are simply not good enough for the part - which is why they didn't get the part.
I don't think this is fair. There are many reasons why a show might offer one actor a role and another actor an understudy track. Sometimes the decision is made because one actor is better known or has more experience. And if producers can get a name, they will. It's just good business. Or a more established actor might have progressed to a career level where they aren't interested in understudying. An actor might also be offered an understudy position because they are talented enough to cover multiple roles.
It's pretty rare for a Broadway show to hire an actor who isn't "good enough." Unless its stunt casting or perhaps nepotism. NY has far too many actors who are insanely talented. Producers don't need to settle. |
