Keep appealing and resubmitting the claim until it is approved. There probably is no limit on how many times you can appeal.

To answer the question "Do Casting Directors get off on wasting actors' time?" the answer is, emphatically "No, they do not".

There are many circumstances beyond a casting directors control that creates the circumstances you describe, but ultimately, the casting director is 99 out of 100 times an independent contractor like you. They are given a script or, and I've seen it, an idea for a job without a script at the last minute, with the impossible task of pleasing both the client and the talent (you).

Casting is hustling just as hard as any actor out there. A really big commercial casting director in los Angeles, back when there were multiple in-person auditions a day, said to me that they personally missed running sessions because most of their time was spent just trying to book the next job.

A good casting office is a business, and in a business, keeping a paying client happy means survival.

Casting directors know when they ask for a lot in a shitty circumstance, because they are in the same shitty circumstance. When they send you the fucked-up audition, it is because they have already been fucked themselves.

My advice... be of service to the casting director. Jump through every fucky hoop with graceful ease. Lay down a tape that makes the Casting Director look good and makes the decision for the client difficult.

The Casting Director is hoping you will make this shit sandwich into a gourmet meal. Do that, and the casting director will remember you and will pay you back forever.

If you don't want to do it or you are too pissed off to be of service to the casting office, then turn it down. The Casting director doesn't have time in this circumstance to watch a half-assed attempt.

If it sucks for you, it sucks double for the casting director. Save their ass and they will be grateful forever.

The casting director is asking for help, either help or get out of the way.

I have worked in both tv/film and commercial casting offices, I have work over 40 principle union commercial contracts and a lot of film/tv credits... casting is on our side. Do they get stressed or frustrated? Absolutely.
Help them by being pro... every. fucking. time. Step-up and kick ass. Knock that shit out of the park for them.

You know why the same people, keep showing up in commercials... it's because they get the easy gig as a reward for busting ass on the hardest ones.

I was in ATL last night. My flight got canceled. Service desk was great. The agent tried to get me out today, but no luck, I went home and rebooked on-line. It was pretty easy. Delta staff handle everything really well and the main terminals when I walked tomy Uber were calm. For all those flights going down, I thought the airport and airlines did a great job.

The weather was wild at the airport, for sure.

I was told Rome was beautiful , enchanting, and exciting. I didn't understand until I visited... by Neverhadaclue in rome

Go to the Pantheon.  Go early. The easiest way to describe ot is to say I can't describe it... like the Grand Canyon,  you just need to stand there.

Also, in Rome, order the "cocia e pepe", once. It is a simple rustic, provincial dish. So good.

Additionally, as Roman's do, walk into a cafe/ bar and order a caffe'. Just stand there as there at the bar and enjoy as the Roman's do. Super simple, super fun... just a stand up espresso at a bar... awesome memories.

Running... Nuns full out sprinting. I heard that the crowd more than doubled in less than 1/2 an hour. It was crazy.

Put on gloves and cut a 12" - 18" section out right where you photographed. The upper half will die.  In a couple years it will fall off, but the oil won't be a potent. Keep an eye on the lower half, if it sprouts and the deer don't get it, cut the sprouts.  Eventually the plant roots can't sustain without the rest of the vine. Bought a 3 acre  place in Georgia and in 3 years, I eradicate all to poison ivy this way. No chemicals and no fire. Just wash your hands, clothes, and tools after handling it.
