Nope, most actors are cast because they're good at what they do. Which is acting.

Actors. You're thinking of actors acting in a movie.
I dunno, what was the point in casting Maya Rudolph in a 1 minute scene, that couldn't have been done by someone not famous? Same for all the other famous cameos. Except for maybe demonstrating what a cool guy Anderson is, so much so that super famous people are willing to act in two bit roles in his movies.

You mean the ignorant white guy talking to his Japanese wife who was viewed by the characters of the film as a racist moron?
Actually the characters didn't find him a racist moron, the most they did was express confusion. Another problem scene is the inclusion of the only gay character as a walking stereotype. I suppose there are ways to interpret their inclusion as realistic to the portrayals of the era. It doesn't help them be any less jarring or uncomfortable for those who are the supposed target of the joke/non-joke.

Although I'm totally not surprised that once again you don't get it...

P.s. Just read that Maya Rudolph is his partner, lol. The comment stands for the rest though.
