Producer Dana Brunetti received a post in which he was called an “idiot” for the castings, he responded to the rantings saying:
“There is a lot that goes into casting that isn’t just looks. Talent, availability, their desire to do it, chemistry with other actor, etc,”
“So if your favorite wasn’t cast, then it is most likely due to something on that list. Keep that in mind while hating and keep perspective.”
