Please explain that one. I prefer new talent as well.
But do not get why a well known actor would require a different story to a new one. They are after all acting, so the writer's job story wise would be the same.
Well known actors tend to be pigeon holes for roles so the story tends to revolve around what the actor is good at vs what the character would be doing.
There are exceptions to the rule, but it's not common.
Henry Cavill screen tested for Casino Royale back in 2006 as mentioned in the article, but he is too old now.
And not just because these auditions were found on a VHS tape that was found in a dumpster last month 😁, at the same time, there were tests with Sam Worthington, Rupert Friend and Anthony Starr.
