How much control a creator has over actor selection when it comes to casting is highly variable. In the best case, their dream actor gets the role envisioned for them. In unfortunate cases, they end up not being in favor of casting choices but not being able to do anything about it, either. From time to time, though, creators personally handpick a certain performer for a role. On occasion, the performer will turn it down, but other times, the handpick ends up being a successful choice. May distantly relate to Doing It for the Art. Compare Comic-Book Fantasy Casting. See also Hypothetical Casting, where creators hypothesize about which actors could conceivably play the characters, Ascended Fancast, where the person who gets cast is someone the fans also wanted in the role, and Cast the Runner-Up, for when a performer doesn't get chosen for the role they auditioned for, but the creator instead casts them in a role they feel suits them better; in some cases, an original character is created specifically for them. |

According to one interview, Jim Davis was drawing Garfield while watching Rhoda, and when he heard Lorenzo Music as Carlton the doorman, decided that this was what Garfield sounded like. He got his wish in Here Comes Garfield, and every other animated Garfield until Music's death. Even then, every voice actor for the character afterwards took at least a few cues from Music's performance. | |

Before playing Perry Mason, Raymond Burr had primarily acted in a series of low-budget films. And then he was invited to shoot a screen test for the role of Hamilton Burger. Days later, midway through the playback of Burr's test, the author of Perry Mason, Erle Stanley Gardner, who had never heard of Burr before then, stood up, pointed at the screen, and said "That's him! That's Perry Mason!" And the rest is history. Prior to Burr's casting, Mason had, both on screen and on the covers of the books, been presented as an older man, no doubt to go with Mason's stated experience as an attorney. | |

Stephen Sondheim agreed to let Tim Burton direct Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street on the condition that he has casting approval. Burton would only agree to direct with Johnny Depp in the lead, and though Sondheim feared Depp's vocals would be too "rock-oriented", he approved Depp after a vocal audition. To approve the casting of Helena Bonham Carter as Mrs. Lovett, and to combat any rumor of nepotism (as Carter and Burton were romantically involved), she sent Sondheim no fewer than twelve audition tapes of her singing. Very impressed with her vocals, Sondheim immediately approved her. | |

The Princess Bride: When the casting director asked William Goldman how big a giant Fezzik should be, he replied "about the size of André the Giant." Guess who ended up playing Fezzik in the film! | |

In the 1940s, Agatha Christie had already seen multiple disappointing adaptations of her work, but after seeing Joan Hickson in a play, Christie wrote to her saying she hoped that one day Hickson could play Miss Marple. Forty years later, she was cast in the iconic BBC Television production. | |

The Disaster Artist: Tommy Wiseau believed that the only actors who could play him were either Johnny Depp or James Franco. When Franco became attached to the film as its director, Wiseau mentioned Depp, who Franco thought would be too expensive; Greg Sestero had to cut in and force Wiseau and Franco to admit that they both wanted Franco in the role. | |
