Actors, this has happened MANY times in my career:
Over the course of the audition process, we (Casting) and prods have fallen in love with an actor, and for one reason or another, (out of a million possible,) did not cast them in that role.

Almost ALWAYS, those creatives work their butts off to get that actor in the show or on the project in some capacity. Some have even written roles *specifically for that actor.
Because that actor SHOWED UP in every sense of the word.

They gave an amazing read. They took notes and redirects. They were professional and open minded. They were game. They held onto a good attitude and sense of play, even when the process was arduous. They showed themselves as a great actor AND the kind of person you'd want on set.
At the end of the day, only one actor can get the job. But that doesn't mean y'all don't make some BIG FUCKING FANS along the way.
I always tell actors that Casting never (NEVER) forgets great work. Producers and Directors remember, too.
