A first for me. I recently auditioned for a tv commercial where the brief for hero male was 50-60 and ‘wife’ a similar age.
Just seen the finished commercial and the roles were filled by mid-30’s actors.
I know briefs change in this world, but the ‘wife’ was played by the casting director on the commercial. I’ve seen casting directors and assistants on commercials; nothing unusual in that, but never on one where the CD I submitted the self tape to got the casting themselves. is this unusual?
I thought I did a really good audition too.

I've cast for projects where I had 20 something year olds in mind and went with 30 / 40 something year olds. Nothing unusual. It's about finding the best actor for the part. You may have did a fantastic job, but perhaps who they found did a bit better or hit closer to home the role which was written. I wouldn't fret about it. Move on and try again! Stay positive.
By the way, you do amazing work! Just watched your reel!
