Meaning

This can be taken to mean that casting often reduces a person to familiar, narrow types, even when the work is meant to be varied. It reads as a frank comment on how certain roles get offered as default identities, and it lands sharply in a conversation about typecasting and the limits of what an actor is expected to play.
