Cross-Cast Role	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This is a role that, for whatever reason, is played by an actor of the opposite sex or another gender. Some common reasons for this involve a gender imbalance in the supply of actors: Theater troupes may be all male, usually because the Moral Guardians have decreed that women should not go on The Wicked Stage; such troupes will use this trope by necessity. Community and school theater companies frequently have more women than men. Many plays (especially older ones) have more male than female roles. Cross-casting is one possible solution, though Gender Flip or Acting for Two may also be used. Similarly, sketch comedy groups are frequently all-male, so female roles are often handed to men; it helps that many cultures find men dressed as women inherently funny. Certain university drama groups only use male actors, a tradition that began as a necessity in the days when women could not be students. This practice started to decline at the tail end of the 20th century. If the role is to be a sufficiently young child, the actor's gender matters much less. In particular, infants are frequently used in film and television without regard to gender. Days of Our Lives famously got into hot water in the soap opera press for hiring two infant girls to play an infant male character and then callously canning both of them when they started to grow into toddlers and began to look more like girls. A soap opera recap on Television Without Pity also referenced this trope: "The infant actor need not match the character's gender. The parents are responsible for having to explain to their [cisgender] son why he was in a pink dress and wearing pink hair bows as a baby". Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Other common reasons are varied: In any kind of production with a lot of difficult singing, the roles of young boys are frequently played by women. Good boy sopranos can be tough to find, especially if you also need them to be able to act; they also have a very specific vocal timbre which may not be compatible with the production's overall aesthetic (e.g., in Opera). Not to mention if they are close enough to adolescence a boy's voice may change completely by surprise, overnight. Compare the high proportion of young boy characters in animation played by adult women. Early opera also has a number of roles written for castrati: boys who were castrated to prevent their voices from changing. Since this isn't done anymore, modern productions of such roles fall under this trope by necessity.note The other options are to cast a male falsettist (which encompasses most countertenors) or, if the production is exceptionally lucky, to find a man whose voice naturally falls in a typically female range for whatever reason (most often a medical condition, especially of the hormonal variety that prevents a man's voice from changing without any mutilation necessary). The director is making a political statement—for example, about gender. Transgender and other gender variant characters are commonly played by actors who have the right body shape or voice rather than the right gender, as there often isn't a more suitable actor available. The role calls for a young-looking/undersized person, but due to Dawson Casting, the body size might not be right. The inverse is sometimes true. Very frequent when animals are used in films, especially if the species show little sexual dimorphism. In the Victorian/Edwardian era, when decent women were not supposed to show their legs in public, Fanservice was one reason why actresses so often found themselves costumed as boys. As a joke, often involving cameo appearances by well-known actors or actresses playing roles of the opposite gender, or stuff like having a bulky and masculine man wearing women clothes. The pantomime traditions of the Main Boy (the main male character being played by a woman) or the Pantomime Dame (a peripheral female character being played by a usually Large Ham male) are coming into play. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })In Western theatre and opera, a male character intended to be played by a female performer is commonly referred to as a "pants," "breeches," or "trouser" role. Love scenes involving these characters are a notorious source of Ho Yay. Compare Cross-Dressing Voices, which is the voice acting equivalent. In a common Casting Gag, you can often expect cross-cast roles to cause Recursive Crossdressing. Contrast with Gender Flip, in which a character is reimagined or rewritten to be the opposite gender, but the actor plays a character of their own gender. Please do not list "retroactive" examples of actors who transitioned at some point post-production, as this trope requires the casting to be an intentional decision. The fact that an actor no longer corresponds to the gender of a character they played is irrelevant to the work itself, and doesn't change the fact that they were considered by the world at large to be of the same gender of said character when they played them.

Also, puppet characters may sometimes be performed by a human of the opposite gender as the person who performs a puppet isn't necessarily the one providing the voice, as each puppeteer voices at least two puppets. The trope also comes into effect (sort of) with puppets who are performed by more than one person. For example, Nicky is, most of the time, performed by a male (who provides the voice, controls the head and left hand) and a female (who controls the right hand).

This is somewhat of a double example, as a) it was an all-girls school, and b) dwarfs are remarkably ambiguous about their biological sex. On the other hand, it might not be this trope at all, considering that it is not known what the sexes of the dwarves involved were.

Cross-Cast Role / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: In Wyrd Sisters, due to the Shakespeare-based setting, Olwyn Vitoller's acting troupe are are all male (women aren't allowed on stage). His adopted son, Tomjon, ends up usually playing the leading lady, as his magically-enhanced acting talents allow him to convincingly play a woman to the point that male audience members fall for him. Lieutenant Blouse in Monstrous Regiment mentions he "got a huge round of applause as the Widow Trembler in 'Tis Pity She's A Tree", at his all-boys school. Similarly, Lady Sibyl mentions in The Fifth Elephant that she won much acclaim playing the romantic lead in a dwarfish opera at her school. This is somewhat of a double example, as a) it was an all-girls school, and b) dwarfs are remarkably ambiguous about their biological sex. On the other hand, it might not be this trope at all, considering that it is not known what the sexes of the dwarves involved were. Their gender, on the other hand, was "dwarf", as they're a one-gender race by tradition.

The show's most famous bit involved Canadian television journalist Barbara Frum, as played by Greg Malone in drag. One recurring sketch, "The Byrd Family", actually featured all five actors simultaneously playing across gender. This was continued to a lesser extent on the spinoff This Hour Has 22 Minutes, with Cathy Jones appearing as Joe Crow, Mary Walsh appearing as Dakey Dunn, and both playing two of the Quinlan Quints. (Rick Mercer and Greg Thomey did not cross-dress, although later cast addition Gavin Crawford did celebrity impersonations including Canadian journalist and commentator Chantal Hébert.) As with The Kids in the Hall, however, the crossdressing was never the joke in and of itself.

This may be because, there's no one else around to fit the role of The Ingenue and the only main female character, Lanolin, is more suited for characters like Mulan. Wade's most known example of this trope is in "Snow Wade and the 77 Dwarves". Subverted when they did “Rumplestiltskin” and Wade was given the role of the miller’s daughter, but he objected that he didn’t want to be a girl.

Both the original play and 1954 musical follow this tradition. The only male actor to have played Peter Pan on Broadway is Jack Noseworthy, who understudied the role as part of Jerome Robbins' Broadway. Curiously enough, J. M. Barrie himself wanted the role of Captain Hook to be played by the same actor as Mrs. Darling, rather than Mr. Darling. Peter Pan is played by actress Kacey Ainsworth in the Children's Party at the Palace live event.

Because the roles were hidden by a cover and required each member of the class to write their name in the blank slots, when the teacher removed the cover they discovered that - basically - Sakura had cast herself as the Prince, Syaoran as the Princess, and Takashi as the Queen - making for a slightly awkward production, especially for Sakura's brother Touya (who of course noticed this well enough). In a halfway example, Tomoyo was cast as the narrator, which is traditionally given to a male actor (but not strictly). In the anime, this also happens to Touya's class production of "Cinderella" in which he plays the title character and a girl in his class (who has a crush on him) plays the prince.

Cross-Cast Role / int_961ca39e	comment	Caryl Churchill's play Cloud Nine uses cross-gender (and cross-ethnic) casting in the first act, to emphasize the disconnect between the character's feelings and their outer show, particularly in Act I. Betty, a high-strung, cuckolded, lady of the house, is deliberately played like an over-the-top man in drag a la Monty Python to show the absurdity of Victorian gender roles. In the second act, she's played straight by a woman and pretty much realized she'd been forced to play a caricature most of her life. Conversely, Betty's son Edward is played by a woman as a child in Act I, but by a man in Act II. (The usual practice is to have the actors switch off between acts, so the actor for Betty in Act I will be Edward in Act II and vice-versa.) The sole Act 2 example involves Cathy (a little girl) played by a grown man, usually the same man who played the patriarch Clive in the first act. It's more than just Rule of Funny, though, as it also serves as a metaphor for colonialism, which is a major theme of the show: Cathy is immature and out of control, and because she is actually a full-grown man, her misbehaviour is more of a threat than her identity suggests.

Cross-Cast Role / int_b8e7bb8	comment	Super Sentai and Power Rangers usually cast male stunt actors portraying the female heroes while in costume, even without taking into account the times when She's a Man in Japan. Motokuni Nakagawa has even earned the nickname of "Mr. Pink" for being in the costume for Pink Racer, Ginga Pink, Go Pink, Time Pink, and Bouken Pink. Easily the longest-running of these is Yūichi Hachisuka, who's played three male rangers as well as females from Change Phoenix to Yellow Buster! The practice was somewhat phased out in modern Sentais, with female stunt actors playing the morphed heroes, though several of these actors would continue to don the suits of female villain roles, with Hachisuka in particular donning the costumes for Mele (armored form), Joyful Knight Candelilla and Madame Noir, while Nakagawa portrayed Metal Alice of the Agent. Naoko Kamio is frequently cast as male rangers or non-human characters, sometimes as a substitute performer; among her credits are Koguma Skyblue, Datas and Ginis.

Cross-Cast Role / int_c4282b71	comment	In the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic episode where the protagonists put on a pageant for Hearth's Warming Eve, all the historical figures are portrayed by the (all-female) main cast. At least one role, Commander Hurricane, is heavily implied to have actually been a stallion, not a mare. And any of the others could have been, even Prince/ss Platinum. This being a very old pageant and one that's performed all over at this time, there were probably male ponies somewhere playing all of the historically female roles as well. The book The Journal of the Two Sisters confirms that Commander Hurricane is indeed the only stallion of the founders. My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Forgotten Friendship also confirms that Clover the Clever is male. The episode "Marks For Effort" shows a slide of Chancellor Puddinghead, who is shown to have the body of that of a stallion.

Starting from the 2013 Sera Myu revival, this seems to be established: The Nelke musicals (from La Reconquista to Le Mouvement Final), the Nogizaka48 musical, The Super Live, and Princess Kaguya's Lover all have all-women casts, with at least one former Takarasienne.

Cross-Cast Role / int_e6ef8ea2	comment	It is very common for the title character in The Nutcracker to be played by a woman (a notable example being the 1989 Bolshoi recording, in which the role was danced by Marisa Okothnikova). Because, ya know, the nutcracker jokes weren't easy enough already. Mother Ginger is often played by a man in drag.

Cross-Cast Role / int_e8c8f03c	comment	StarMyu's first season has the obligatory Imagine Spot of Tengenji playing Juliet, but season 2 reveals that in middle school, Tatsumi played a princess in the school play, and Sawatari played his knight. Their juniors still call them "princess-senpai" and "knight-senpai". The same episode also contains a flashback to Otori playing a female role in a play. The play performed in that episode also features a male student as the main female character, though the character's maid is played by a female student.

It was a shipboard production so they naturally didn't have any women; of the midshipmen, one was considered pretty enough to be Ophelia, another had an appropriately-pitched speaking voice, and Jack could carry a tune.

The riding clubs of New Zealand and Australia were able to provide sufficient numbers of horses and riders... but a large number of these riders are women.
