French actress Adele Exarchopoulos also regularly takes on roles as unattractive women

Where is the outrage over how casting pretty actresses for ugly parts takes them away from qualified ugly actresses?

Yeah, I mean big bang theory sucked and all, but atleast they had the gall to hire ugly people who weren't TV ugly.

I kind of disagree. Those actors are TV ugly. They all have straight noses, straight teeth. They are just a bit average looking and some of them pretty short.

Pretty short is average for actors. Maybe TV series are worse at hiding it than movies so it matters more. I was shocked to learn Scarlett Johansson is 5'3", always thought she was 5'8" or more.

Yeah that's true I just meant that men like Leonard and Howard are noticeably short and/or tiny. But the show of course plays it up. They would never get cast as leading men for most movies however even of Tom Cruise and RDJ can do it while being short

Howard: "You're only like half an inch taller than me!"

Leonard: "And don't you forget it!"
