The Inexperienced Casting Director

I don't know many actors or actresses because I don't watch many movies. When I do, I only bother to find out the name of the actor or actress if I really, really liked his or her acting. That doesn't happen very often. Having said that, I would probably give the role of Macbeth to Johnny Dep. I've really only seen him in Pirates of the Carribean and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory--which fact reveals my ignorance--but I've heard of him in other movies and been told he did a really good job. I do know that he really throws himself into his roles, which is exactly what it would take to play Macbeth.

I went to Google for an actress, because I know even fewer actresses than actors, and clicked on the first name I saw: Joely Richardson! I looked up her biography and took a glance at her movies and really know nothing about her other than the fact that she's a forty-four-year old British woman who played Marie Antoinette in The Affair of the Necklace. Based on that completely inadequate knowledge, I've decided that she would be perfect to play Lady Macbeth. How could she not be if she's played Marie Antoinette?
